Dear Shepardson Families,
I am delighted to be a member of the Shepardson community and to have the opportunity to work with you and your remarkable students.
Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Kelly Matthews. I am originally from the Philippines, I moved around a bit with my family since my father served in the military until we came to beautiful Colorado. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Special Education Generalist K-12 from Colorado Christian University. This marks my eighth year in the field of education. I previously served as a paraprofessional in special education for six years and taught American Sign Language as an elective in middle school for four years. I am now beginning my second year as a Special Education teacher.
On a personal note, I have two wonderful daughters. One will be joining me at Shepardson as a second grader, while my oldest is entering her second year of college, pursuing digital art and animation, with aspirations of joining the Disney team in the future.
I look forward to an exciting school year ahead and to getting to know all of you!
