Miss Key Schuchardt
5th Grade Teacher
Hi! My name is Kelidanne Schuchardt, but since that is very difficult to pronounce, I go by Key to friends and Miss Key to my students! I have wanted to be a teacher since I was 10 years old and am so happy to be living my dream. I'm an artist (you may have seen and bought my work at the Italian Heritage Festival), a superhero absolute fan, love my big family and a very proud cat and dog mom.
Why I’m excited: I'm excited to be a part of a staff that is so like minded in how they want to help kids succeed! Everyone here is wonderful and kind and truly want their students to soar for the stars. We all have high expectations and try to do everything in our power to help our students meet them.
