Hello Wildcats!  My name is Kelley Pell and I am looking forward to an awesome school year together. I graduated from Saint Leo University with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, minor in Business Management. I obtained my teaching certificate through the Educator Preparation Institute at Polk State College.  I have completed the comprehensive training for Orton-Gillingham, a multi-sensory approach to teaching reading and am ESOL and Reading endorsed. I am so honored to teach first grade and I am blessed to be part of the McKeel family. It is going to be an exciting year and I am looking forward to watch your child learn and grow!
