2nd Grade Team

Hello, super second graders! I am thrilled to be starting my tenth year at South McKeel! I graduated from the University of South Florida with a Bachelors Degree in Public Relations, and then a second B.A. in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. This is my 24th year teaching, with 13 years in first grade and 11 years in second. I can't wait to share another year of fun and learning with my sweeties. GO WILDCATS!!!!!
