• Mrs. Sabra Watts-Hayes Hello. My name is Sabra Watts-Hayes. 
  •    This is my 21st year of teaching.  I grew up and received my general education in Peoria, Illinois.  I came to Jefferson City in 1984 to attend Lincoln University.  I met and married a "local guy" and decided to make Jefferson City my home. I live here in Jefferson City with my husband, Brian, who was educated here in the Jefferson City public schools.  Together we raised our 3 children, Jarrett, Brianna and Tristen, here in this great community.  
       As a little girl, I tutored and taught all of the younger neighborhood children.  I have always loved to teach and I am happy that after 15 years of working in the computer field, I decided to follow my passion, teaching.  I am aware of the academic, social and emotional needs of fifth graders.  In my classroom, I have a picture of my own 5th grade picture to remind me and my students that I really was once a 5th grader and therefore I have understanding, empathy and compassion for 5th graders.  I love my students and I pride myself with having a personal relationship with each one of them.  Please feel free to visit us in the classroom at anytime and watch us grow into independent, confident and problem-solving individuals.  I love to read, travel and shop.  I feel that I can see and visit so many places, real and not-so-real, with these hobbies.
