A
message from Mrs. Keefe some
of the light from a candle by
lighting another person's flame There
isn't any less light because
you've given some away there's
more. When
everybody grows, there
isn't less of anybody there's
more of and
for
everybody. ~Kaleel

I believe that the
classroom should be a safe and productive place for every
child to achieve his or her potential. I also believe that a
child should learn to function responsibly and respectfully
as an individual, and as a member of a group. Your child, like a piece
of a jigsaw puzzle is unique and yet should be able to fit
together with others. This fitting together is what creates
an even more exquisite design without losing the individual
piece. I believe in hands on and
real life experiences. This helps students connect learning
to the world they will be using the skills in. I also expect
students to work hard each and every day. Students should
continue their growth towards independence and self
management. I have been married to my
husband Pat (a Casper native) for 32 years. We have three
children. Tim is a graduate of the University of Nebraska,
Lincoln. He and his wife Brooke live in Edgewater, CO. Dan,
a 2003 graduate of NCHS lives here in Casper. Erin graduated
from the University of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff, Az.
She and her husband, Nate live in Arvada, CO. My career as a teacher
spanned 32 years. My first year of teaching was grade 3 in
Salt Lake City. The rest have been with NCSD # 1. I taught
grade 5 at Willard and grade 4 at Evansville and Verda
James. I enjoyed teaching at Crest Hill, the school my
children attended. I spent two years in grade 6, two years
in kindergarten, a year as Technology teacher and 2 years as
a reading specialist for 4th, 5th and 6th graders . I was
excited to finsh my career teaching math to first through 6
graders. 2010 marked my final year
of teaching. I am now blissfully retired but plan to keep
involved with education. I will continue to update this site
monthly.
