My name is Michelle Ward Kelso.  I am a Hartselle High School graduate.  I student taught at F.E. Burleson and continued to teach at F.E.B. until all 5th grade combined with 6th grade to create Hartselle Intermediate School.  After eight years, I decided I was ready to go back home to where I started. I am so excited about teaching science & math to 4th graders. My favorite part of school is getting to know my students and making connections with them.  I love to think that I am making a difference in the life of each and every child that visits my classroom.   

       I am married to Captain Phillip Kelso who works at Hartselle Fire and Rescue.  I have two sons, Jordan and Carter.   When I am away from HIS, I enjoy running, working in the yard, swimming, and spending time with friends and family at the lake.  I also love to watch Auburn football!
