• Dear Parents/Guardians,

    I am overjoyed in introducing myself, Kelly Smart, as your child’s Kindergarten teacher for this upcoming school year.  This will be my fourteenth year as a Kindergarten teacher within the Voorhees Township School District.  I began my teaching career at Osage Elementary School shortly after completing my student teaching.  After a quick two years, I was welcomed here at Kresson Elementary School.  Kresson has become a second home to me, and I am hopeful it will have the same comforting effect on you and your child.

    Before my teaching career began, I studied Literature and Education at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey.  In May 2011, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Literature as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Education.

    With a sole passion for teaching, I have come to believe that a teacher “takes a hand, opens a mind, and touches a heart.” With that statement in mind, I am honored to say that I will be one of the first teachers to take hold of your child’s hand and lead him/her towards a bright and successful future.

    Looking forward to a memorable year,

    Ms. Kelly Smart
