1/2 COMMUNITY

Jennifer Delaney is a lifelong learner who finds education on many paths. She has teaching experience as a mom, classroom aide, homeschool parent, substitute teacher, special education teacher, and currently as part of Promontory’s 1/2 Community. She graduated from USU with a degree in Early Childhood Education and holds a Birth through 5 Special Education certification. Jennifer also earned her Master’s Degree in Special Education from the University of West Florida. She is very excited about her new learning and teaching adventures at Promontory.

​

Jennifer lives in a small farming community with her best friend and husband, Robert, their two amazing teenage daughters, Rebecca and Rachel, her mom, Joyce, and their dog, Roofio. They love spending time together as a family and enjoy movies, camping, puzzles, laughing, and having dinner together as often as possible.

​

Jennifer believes children are magical and full of wonder, with gifts to share and even more to discover. Children fascinate her. She sees teaching as a privilege and loves watching the magic unfold every day.

​

One of her favorite quotes is from Rita Pierson:

​

“Every child deserves a champion, an adult who insists they become the best they can possibly be.”

​

She is happy to join the crew of champions at Promontory.

Nicole is passionate about being a lifelong learner and staying active, whether coaching cheerleading, tumbling, and dance, or running outside in the mountains. As a mom of three amazing kids who all attend Promontory, she also enjoys reading, baking, and spending time with her family. Nicole absolutely loves teaching and working with students, which is why she pursued her teaching degree from Western Governors University and is currently working on her master's at Utah State University. Being active and enjoying the outdoors are important parts of her life, and she is always excited to bring that energy into the classroom!

Ms. Lindsay Phenes grew up in Tremonton and moved to Brigham City in 2006 after marrying her husband. Together, they have three teenage daughters and two adorable dogs, Pickles and Dilly.

Ms. Lindsay spent five years in the Box Elder School District as a substitute teacher and math paraprofessional. Her passion for education grew during that time, inspiring her to pursue a degree in Elementary Education at Utah State University. After earning her Bachelor’s degree, she taught 5th grade for three years before joining Promontory in 2024.

Ms. Lindsay believes that meaningful learning and personal growth can only occur when a foundation of mutual respect and trust is established. She prioritizes building authentic relationships with her students and their families, understanding that a supportive and respectful environment is essential for academic and emotional development.

When she's not in the classroom, Ms. Lindsay enjoys camping with her family—though she proudly considers herself a "glamper" rather than a traditional camper. Her favorite adventures include spending time around the campfire while making lasting memories with loved ones, or curling up on the couch to read a twisty psychological thriller. 

April Stoddart grew up in an adventurous family being the 10th of 11 children.  She grew up in Utah and has lived in New York, Oregon and currently North Ogden with her husband and two kids.  

​

April home schooled her two children for 15 years and taught 6 years in a local commonwealth school.  She received her Bachelor's of Science from Weber State University  and is working on her Masters of Education at WGU.  April taught at Maria Montessori and Capstone Classical Academy and is very excited to join the family here at Promontory School of Expeditionary Learning.

​

April loves to travel and learn about the world and cultures and what they have to teach us.  She wants to share that love of learning with her students and feels that Expeditionary Learning gives children the tools to explore the wonders of the world and how we each can make a difference.

​

April says, “The idea of letting the child learn from his/her environment and the tools provided for exploration is key to why Expeditionary Learning resonates with me. I feel that education is more than what you find in books. It is learning to see the world around us, learning from it, and finding our place in it. It’s about learning how we have an affect upon each other as well as our surroundings. I believe that children are born with an innate curiosity and desire to learn. By providing various opportunities to explore the world around them, reading classical, living books and using hands-on tools as way of learning concepts, that innate curiosity and a love of learning is born.“
