meet Kellie Chaves
My name is Kellie Chaves, and I am so happy to be teaching your child here at Brighten Academy. This is my fourth year teaching kindergarten. I previously taught second grade for six years. I took a few years off to spend time at home with my three kids. I have been a part of the Brighten family for 6 years.
I am a Douglas County native. I went to Winston Elementary, Chapel Hill Middle School, and graduated from Alexander High School. I graduated from State University of West Georgia with a B.S. degree in Early Childhood Education.
I have been married for 12 years to my wonderful husband, Marcelo, and have three amazing children. All three of my children attend Brighten Academy. My daughter Gracie is in 5th grade, my son Daniel is in 3rd grade, and my youngest Brady is in 2nd grade.
I am so happy to be here are Brighten and teaching a wonderful group of students! : )
I am looking forward to working with your children this year!!
