Welcome!  My name is Jessica Ohime and I will be starting my third year as a Saint Mark Lion.  I previously taught 18 years in public education.  I have two daughters, Ellie entering 8th grade at St. Mark and Natalie who will be in 5th grade. My family has been parishioners of Saint Mark for over 16 years.  Some of my favorite things to do are read, flower and vegetable gardening and just being crafty.
