Hello everyone! My name is Mrs. Quesada and I am from Bluffton, SC and I graduated from Winthrop University. Some of my favorite things are the color green, strong coffee, my dog, going on long walks and indoor plants! Last school year I had the honor to be at JES as junior faculty and was able to stay!  I fell in love with this school, the teachers, staff, community and students and I’m beyond excited to begin this school year!

Hey everyone! My name is Megan Watson & I am so excited to be a part of the Jefferson Elementary family! Although I am a newer addition to JES, I have worked with children most of my life. Kids are my passion & my heart! Watching them learn & grow & getting to be a part of that is so rewarding to me. 

My family moved from Indian Land to McConnells in the summer of 2020. We love the country life!! My husband & I have been married almost 10 years & we have 3 kids, 2 dogs & 2 fish. 

When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, volunteering at our church, baking, listening to music, eating good food, shopping, attempting DIY projects & traveling. My favorite place away from home is the beach! 

I am looking forward to another great year with our amazing team & students at Jefferson!
