Write a short biography (100-300 words) that would introduce you to your students, and their parents.

Hello, my name is Kailee Elders. I will be the new special education teacher at Ruth Powell Elementary School. This is my first year as a certified teacher and I'm very excited to be working with you and your students. Here is just a little bit of information about me. I was born in Safford, Arizona. I went to school in Thatcher, Arizona and graduated from high school in 2006. After high school I attended Eastern Arizona College on a softball scholarship for two years. I graduated from there in 2008 with an Associate's degree in general studies. Then I moved to Glendale, Arizona to attend Arizona State University. I went to ASU for two years and graduated in May of 2010 with a Bachelor's degree in Special and Elementary Education. I was able to do half of my student teaching at Dorothy Stinson and the other half at Ruth Powell.
