Lisa Fox Jackson Iowa Loves Her Kids
Lisa Fox Jackson of Iowa is a transplanted Texan.
She came to Colorado to attend school at Naropa
University in Boulder and has been in the Rocky
Mountain State ever since. After graduating with
degrees in Visual Arts and Education she moved to
Estes Park, a small tourist town that is the
gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park.
Not long after arriving in Estes Park, she got a
job as a teacher at Estes Park Elementary
School, where she teaches the third grade. "I
love my kids," she says. "Most of them are eight
and nine years old. That's such a great age. You
can see their personalities forming, but there is
still a lot of shaping to do." She says these
ages are known as the age of Industry versus
Inferiority.

Colorado, since not long after graduating from
Naropa University in nearby Boulder in 2006. She
says that she loves it in Estes and will probably
spend the rest of her life there. She teaches
third grade at Estes Park Elementary School and
painting at the Estes Park Center for the
Arts. She says that it's a great place to be
raising her daughter. Four year old Anissa Fox
Jackson was born in Estes Park in 2011.
It was especially comforting for her in September
of 2013, when Estes Park and the surrounding
region was hit by heavy rains and devastating
floods. The town that is the gateway to Rocky
Mountain National Park found itself cut off from
the most direct route to Denver.
