Teacher Assignments
Fourth/Fifth Grade:
Lisa Lowenfels
Hello KES Families! I am Lisa Lowenfels, Kelly's 4th and 5th grade teacher. You have likely seen my face around the halls, as this is my 22nd year at Kelly Elementary! My family includes Maddie (Sr) and Miles (Fr), both of whom have just recently moved through KES as students.
I have a passion for plants, birds, and all things creepy crawly, which is likely at the root of my experiential and science education background. I enjoy getting out on the trails (hiking and cross country skiing), and get my hands dirty in the garden whenever possible! I love this tiny school community of ours immensely, and feel so grateful to be with your children each and every day!
Second/Third Grade:
Theresa Lundquist
Kindergarten/First Grade:
Ivy Molls
Hello KES! My name is Ivy Molls and I am the new K/1 teacher. I moved to Jackson in 2019 and have been working at TCSD since then. Before coming to Wyoming, I studied art in Wisconsin and I still love to create! You might find me at the ceramics studio on the weekends or paddle boarding in the summer months. I am overjoyed to join the Kelly community!

Office/Paraprofessional:
Donna Warren
Mrs Donna comes to us from Texas and Alaska. She retired from Texas Education with 20 years in two districts and six years at the regional education service center. She and her husband lived the last two years in Alaska. Mrs Donna enjoys working with students each day, enjoys recess and seeing the students playing in the snow. You may hear her cheering the students on in their skating, sledding or building times saying, "you've got this, how awesome-you did it or oh no, come on try again-you can do this." Her enthusiasm continues as she also enjoys her time helping students in the classroom whether it is letters, words or paragraphs, she loves school. Growing up in a rural area she enjoys being in nature, fishing, hunting, gardening, photography, painting and almost anything that is hands-on. She and her husband enjoy camping and have big plans for the summer. Mrs. Donna is enjoying being at KES, in the Jackson area and says she is "living the dream"!
