Mrs. Amy Jenkins
My name is Amy Jenkins. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Colorado Christian University and my Master's degree in Teaching and Learning from Colorado State University-Global. I met my husband, Scott in college and we have been married for 26 years. We have 2 daughters who both attended Lincoln Academy from Kindergarten through Middle School. Karis is a senior in High School. Kiah is a junior in college. Lincoln has been an important part of my life, as a parent, a substitute teacher, an educational assistant, and this is my 7th year teaching Kindergarten. The community at Lincoln is the main reason I am here. It is a privilege to be a part of this amazing team of educators and families.
Our Kindergarten classroom will be a rich, positive learning space, where students will feel cared for and respected. I'm looking forward to an exciting year full of new knowledge, new friends, and new adventures.

Miss Ansley Cowan
Hi! My name is Ansley Cowan, and this is my first year teaching at Lincoln Academy. I grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina and just moved to Denver this summer for a change of scenery and to explore the mountains. I graduated from the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill in 2021 and attended UNC-CH again last year to earn my Masters of Arts in Teaching this past year. Needless to say, I am a huge Tarheel fan, so you might hear your students cheering for the Heels this basketball season! I also have been a camp counselor at both day and overnight camps in North Carolina for the past seven years, which inspired me to turn my classroom into Camp Cowan. I love to hike, bake treats, travel, cheer for the Heels and, of course, play with kids!
I was initially drawn to Lincoln because of the tight knit, supportive community here of students, teachers and families, and I am excited to get to know all of you. Our classroom will be a safe, inclusive and fun environment for all students. I am so excited to learn with and from my students and explore all of the magic of school in Kindergarten!
