Kayleigh is returning to MSA for her ninth year, this time as a first grade teacher. When asked to describe Ms. Kayleigh, students may say that she remains the Owl’s all-time leading goal scorer at recess or that she never loses a game. They will likely talk about her love for math, or they might proudly explain how she taught them double-digit addition in kindergarten. Some may even talk about the books they shared throughout the year. While the specifics may vary from child to child, Kayleigh’s students always leave with a love of learning and a drive for knowledge.
