Hi! My name is Mrs. Jane Blumer. I've taught at Capitol Hill since the program began in 1985. This is my thirty-eighth year of teaching. My undergraduate degree is from The College of St. Catherine in Elementary Education and I have Masters degree in reading from St. Thomas University where I'm currently in the Gifted and Talented Certification program. During the summer I teach in the Summer Catalyst program for teachers at the University of Minnesota. I am familiar with the whole program as my oldest son is a former graduate of Capitol Hill class of 1993.

The best way to contact me is to call my classroom directly (325-2519) or by e-mail at jane.blumer@spps.org  .  When you call during the school day you will be immediately directed to my voice mail. I check my voice mail and e-mail after school each day. If you need to get in contact with me during the school day, press 0 and the office staff will get the message to me.

This year 2007-2008 the 1st and 2nd grades have been awarded a HP Grant. Our team's concentration is to provide our students with a rich and rigorous science curriculum using technology to connect the students with scientists in the field and their work. We want students to grow in their scientific expertise so they can become producers of scientific knowledge.
