Hello! My name is Jennifer Grounds. My husband, Vicente, and I have three children that attend Foundations. We have Cain, Alaia and Grace. We just moved to Brighton over the summer of 2023 from Frederick and still have a lot of ties out there. We are very active in our church and love to read and cook. Vicente and I are blessed to be civil servants working in the Regulatory and Compliance space for the State of Colorado. I am honored to be a PTO member so I can be engaged in the functions of the school and help all of the children thrive.
