This is Miss Kelly! Miss Kelly's been teaching in the Gifted Resource classroom here at Lake Sybelia for 8 years, but she's been teaching in Orange County for 18 years! Miss Kelly has also taught 5th grade, AAIM, and she was a teacher-trainer in Orange County too. Miss Kelly's daughter is a Sophomore in high school and she loves to sing, dance, and act! Patch is Miss Kelly's dog, a 7 year old, very silly English Setter who loves to chase birds! Miss Kelly loves to laugh and loves to learn! She likes to spend time writing and reading. She's a terrible singer and an even worse cook, but she still sings and cooks because she believes that you shouldn't just do the things that you're good at doing!
