Ms. Evans Room 104

Hello! My name is Kelly Evans. This is my 5th year in Kindergarten at DES. I currently hold a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with an Endorsement in Early Childhood Education. In the future, I am planning to complete my Master's Degree and continue my ongoing goal of being a life-long learner. I want to pass the love of learning on to my students!

My parapro is Mrs. Tammy Bowling. This is her 6th year in the classroom at DES. Many students know her as "Ms. Tammy", the driver of bus 28. She has been providing this service for more than 20 years in McDuffie County! We are so thankful for Mrs. Bowling!

I am fortunate to be in a Co-Teach setting for part of the day with Mrs. Rebecca Santos. She is a Special Education Teacher at DES. Mrs. Santos provides exciting educational opportunities for all students!

This year, I have an additional parapro in my classroom! Ms. Roxie Reese works on behaviors and is a wonderful addition to our classroom!
