About Me
About MeHello! My name is Mrs. Kelly, formally Miss Moke. I am one of the 5th grade teachers at Spring Lake Heights and so excited to start my 8th year of teaching (5th at SLH). While many are used to seeing around one teacher a day, I am lucky to see more than 50 students a day in Science, Language Arts, Math, ESL, or 5-6 Elective. There are so many exciting things to look forward to as a middle schooler and 5th grade student at SLH. I can't wait to see what is in store.

Background
I was born and raised in Monroe Township, New Jersey (about 40 min west of SLH). Growing up, I was fortunate to have three siblings to learn from and play with. Some of my favorite times growing up was either making a make-shift "store" or running a "school" of my own in the basement. When it was time to choose a major in college, education was a no-brainer. Rowan University, home of the "Profs or professors," was the place I would call home for 4 years, where I majored in Elementary Education, Geography, and with an Honors Concentration. While I didn't always live right on the beach, I always wanted to live by the water and maybe teach there one day as well. SLH has been an amazing home and second family to me, my husband, and my two bulldogs (Numchuck and Winston). I am very lucky to have such a supportive community to be along for the ride.
