Diane Kennedy
My name is Diane Kennedy, and this is my thirteenth year teaching Kindergarten. I also taught Pre-Kindergarten for seven years. I have my bachelor’s degree of Science in Early Childhood Education (K-3) from Kent State University with a concentration in Psychology and Sociology. I was born in New York and raised in Ohio. I am married and have three sons who are young adults. In my free time I enjoy traveling, design, taking pictures, reading, listening to music, and spending time with my family and friends. I love to watch each student blossom as an individual and I am very excited for another great year of learning!
