All About Ms. Bolding

Hi!  My name is Jill Bolding and I have been teaching here in Oconee County since 1997.   I began my teaching career in 1992 and have also lived and taught in two other states (Florida and Louisiana).  Wow!!  How time flies when you are having fun!  :) I am very excited and feel lucky to be a part of Colham Ferry Elementary School.  I love working with children.

A little about myself... I was born and raised in sunny Florida and definitely have sand between my toes! I still have family down there and visit as much as I can!  I have also lived in Louisiana. I was visiting my brother and fell in love with the place so I moved there after I graduated from college to begin my career in education.  I attended Florida State University, obtaining my BA in Education.  Throughout my career, I have obtained my MA in Counseling from Louisiana Tech and my EdS in Leadership from Lincoln Memorial University. I am also certified in gifted education.

I have one wonderful son who attends OCMS.   I spend my spare time watching him play baseball and basketball or practicing with him, so sports are pretty much my life! Other things that I also enjoy are traveling or going to the beach.  My son and I have our scuba licenses and travel and scuba as much as we can!
