“Our students are very creative with their out-of-the-box thinking!”
Kelley finds inspiration in her students' unique approaches to learning and problem-solving, which enrich her teaching and make every day in the classroom rewarding.
Favorite School Tradition
Founders Day & Spirit Week: Kelley’s favorite time of year is the lead-up to Founders Day, with Spirit Week bringing energy and excitement to the whole school. “I love that the entire school gets involved—it’s such a fun week and a wonderful showcase of our Sandhills spirit!”
