St. Helen School Kindergarten Teacher

Ms. Hoffman Chosen #SchoolHero

Congratulations to #SchoolHero Kelly Hoffman, a kindergarten teacher at St. Helen Catholic School Chicago, Illinois . She has impacted many students throughout her 17 years at the school. Kelly is known to be incredibly creative and very compassionate to her students. She centers her classroom on optimal learning and independence. It is apparent to all how deeply Kelly cares about her students.

“I have always known her to go above and beyond in the classroom. She always has engaging activities that challenge the children and also knows how to throw a fabulous party. So it comes as no surprise to me that she is knocking e-learning out of the park while simultaneously teaching face to face. This year is incredibly stressful for teachers, and being a teacher myself I know how much effort and the extra time it takes to create these lessons for our remote learners. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes work happening at home,” a colleague.
