Kelly, as Principal of Hanawalt Elementary, is passionate about building 21st Century Skills throughout her Learning Community. She prefers the job title, “Lead Learner,” since that title acknowledges the importance of all educators being part of a professional learning community and serving as Life-Long Learner role models. Kelly has previously lead her school to exemplary status with Intel, the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, and as a Crayola Champion Creatively Alive grant winner. Literacy comes alive in her school, using art to enrich each of the Language Arts strands.
