What People (and I) Are Saying
“Every student has their favorite teacher. Whether they are full-time teachers or a substitute. There is always one teacher that makes school that much more enjoyable for students. They always find a deeper way to connect with their students aside from textbooks or homework assignments. Most students never forget this teacher. Every time they see this teacher, they know their class will be enjoyable. For MCHS in particular, this teacher is Miss Jensen.”

MUBI Fest brings films to the big screen in Chicago for second consecutive year - April 27, 2025
Kayleigh Jensen, a high school teacher in the suburbs, comes to the city frequently and was in line for the screening when she found the shop. She hosts a podcast, Glitter & Gore, with her friend Kami that focuses on all things horror.
Jensen thought the shop was incredible and says she would recommend it to anyone who likes horror. She’s hoping the pop-up can extend their lease and stick around past September.
“I would love (if they stayed),” Jensen said. “I feel like horror is such a huge genre that is underrepresented at the same time.”

Terror Vision: Seeing film rentals in a new light - May 5, 2025
The festival’s message was not only appreciated by its vendors but also by its patrons. Kayleigh Jensen, a substitute teacher who studied film in college, said it was a no-brainer to attend the festival once it was announced.
“I think the arts are just so important,” Jensen said. “I feel like everything kind of took a hit with COVID-19, so it’s really cool to see films that people might not be going to see in the theater be brought together by a festival like this.”
