Kelly is amazing. For her, it is all about her students. She loves, helps and supports them beyond the classroom--educational and cultural trips and experiences and more. She evens spends her own time and money improving her skills. Immersion trips to strengthen her language skills, a second masters degree to bring theater to after school activities. She volunteers for summer classes and efforts to fundraise for their needs. She is a life changer. Just ask her students. Love and support to Kelly Evans!!!
