I’m Jane Silva. I am originally from NJ, where I taught 3rd grade for 9 years.  I moved to sunny Englewood, Florida in July 2014. At VES, I have taught 2nd and 3rd grade.  I have 2 beautiful, intelligent daughters, Sophie & Charli, a lovable crazy dog named Giggs and a husband, Tom. Both Sophie and Charli attend VES because it’s the BEST.  I grew up surrounded by the Portuguese culture & speak fluently. My parents live next door to me (how lucky am I? I’m a hard worker and promise to always do my best so that your child gets the ultimate educational experience in 3rd grade.
