Meet Mrs. O

Hi there! My name is Kelsey Ostrander. I was born and raised in Kearney, Nebraska. I am a Bearcat through and through. I received my Bachelors degree from the University of Nebraska at Kearney in Elementary Education with an endorsement in K-12 English as a Second Language. I am currently finishing up my Masters degree in Early Childhood Education at UNK as well, I will graduate in December!!! I started my teaching career in Shelton, NE and was blessed to get the opportunity to be a Park Panther in 2018. I have taught a variety of different grades since 2012 but my very favorite is 2nd grade, of course!!!!

My goal is for our class to become a family. We will work hard, but have fun doing it. We will make mistakes and learn from them. But most importantly we will grow and learn together!

Communication is so important to the success of a child. I will be sending weekly newsletters, utilizing the Remind app, and sending a link to our classroom Facebook page. Please feel free to send an email to say "Hi!" or let me know if you need anything!

I am so excited to work with each of you this year!!!!
