We are so glad to have Kelly Myers joining our team this year to teach 3rd grade. This will be her first year of teaching, and we are so glad it’s with us! We asked her some questions so that you can get to know her a bit before the school year begins.

Why did you want to teach at Cardinal?
I loved the building atmosphere when I came for my interview, and I really enjoy small-town communities. 

What do you like about teaching 3rd grade?
I like how the students learn to be more independent. 

What is your favorite part of teaching?
I love getting to know all the kids and creating personal connections with them. I also love to watch them learn and grow.  

What is your ultimate goal as a teacher?
Bring joy into the classroom every day and create a safe place for students to learn. 

What do you hope students take away from your class this year?
That I am learning and growing right alongside them.

Fun Facts/Hobbies:
I really enjoy being outside. I also love to read and watch movies. A fun fact is that Cardinal was my high school's (Pekin) "rival" school and I have now switched sides!! 

My real endorsement of Cardinal Schools and its faculty and staff can be seen each morning when I hand them the one irreplaceable and most valuable thing in my life: my kids. No letter I write could be a greater endorsement than that simple act. I give them my kids, and I do it with a huge smile on my face because I trust them to do what they are most outstanding at: building our future.
