Biography:  My name is Mrs. Jennifer Yerks and I have been teaching at Orland Junior High for two years.  I graduated from Taylor University and taught 8th grade at a middle school in Indiana for two years before coming to OJ.  I actually graduated from OJH in 1996 and it has been fun being back here as a teacher instead of a student!
