What families are saying
“Ms. Kelly is wonderful! The kids always loved her and still talk about her often.” -Elizabeth Kilpatrick
“Mrs. Kelly holds a special place in my heart. She made first grade for my son an absolutely amazing year. Her vibrant personality and love for God, creativity, and children was evident in everything she did at school with the kids. Through the thoughtfully planned field trips, parties, and after-school art classes she initiated at the school, she showed a clear determination to make school a celebration. She breathed life into each child and gave them a fun and safe place to learn and grow in God and academics. Her communication with parents about grades, behavior, and daily school life was excellent. She regularly kept parents involved even if just through the daily and weekly updates through an app that our school used. She was always consistent in her communication, prompt in replies, and steady in her mission to educate and love all the kids her class. As my son proudly put it to his cousin one day, “Mrs. Kelly is not like other teachers.” My son was always looking forward to school and had nothing but positive things to say about Mrs. Kelly. She was an absolute gem to know and she will forever be a shining light for God in the field of education!”
Love you much! - Christin Crawford
“Having Mrs. Kelly as my child’s teacher has been such a gift to our family. She has truly been one of Kennedy’s favorite teachers since 1st grade and it’s easy to see why. Mrs. Kelly has such a special way of meeting each child exactly where they are. I watched my daughter grow so much, especially in her reading, because of Mrs. Kelly’s support, patience, kindness, and joy in teaching. She creates such a loving and encouraging classroom environment where children feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. Her classroom is always organized, colorful, and welcoming, with clear expectations and positive reinforcement that truly helps children stay engaged and confident. You can feel the care she pours into every detail. What stands out most is the beautiful balance she brings—strong academics paired with genuine love and empathy for each child. That combination is rare, and it makes such a lasting impact.
We are so thankful for Mrs. Kelly and the role she has played in our child’s education and growth.”

“My daughter was fortunate to have Mrs. Kelly as her first grade teacher, and I had the opportunity to volunteer frequently in the classroom for field trips and holiday parties. During that time, we got to know Mrs. Kelly very well and can personally attest to her dedication and commitment to education. She is such a super sweet, kind-hearted, and very fun teacher. She encourages creativity, has so many fun ideas that go along with what she is teaching, and is gentle and loving to each individual student. She truly makes a positive and lasting impact on her students.”
