Hi there!

I’m Jana Pendleton

Jana has taught for just over 25 years. She truly loves her students and the many things they teach her on a daily basis! She hopes that other teachers can learn a thing or two (hopefully ever more) from COLORWORKS to help them feel better prepared and love their job just a little bit more.

Jana lives in the beautiful state of Utah. She is a wife, mother, and gramma. She enjoys reading, writing, watching movies, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. She really does believe in fairytales; Some Boy taught her that they just might actually come true!

Some Boy

Sixteen-year-old Emily's life changes during a month-long school trip to Europe when she meets Leo, an eighteen-year-old with a sketchpad and a secret.
