figure) and she sets a ten-book-goal for each summer. She recently
traveled to Philadelphia for the NEA Convention, but as a guest not
a delegate (which means she got to do a lot of sight seeing).
She was able to hear Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards
speak.
As for movies, "If there is singing or dancing,
I'm there!" she says. She is looking forward to the new
“Hairspray” movie. Kaydee especially enjoys iced tea
and any dish that includes pasta, but does NOT enjoy sports that
make her sweat. She loves to surf, but hasn’t had the chance
lately.

Kennie and Mary Kay. Her mom, Carrie, lives in Shelton. Kaydee's
family also includes Guinness (Junkyard cat), Cleopatra (ugly
kitty) and Nellie (who is on a visitor’s visa).
Kaydee's Thoughts on Teaching: "My goal is to
send forth students that understand that they have a voice and
through that voice they can make a positive difference!"
