Mrs. Nelson's 2/3 High Ability
Each One Unique, Together Complete
Meet Mrs. Nelson
Hello! My name is Sandy Nelson. I am super excited to be teaching 2/3 High Ability at KES! I am a former Klondike Nugget myself! I graduated from Purdue University (B.A. Elementary Education, Reading Minor, Kindergarten & Computer Endorsements, M.S. Educational Technology). I taught Kindergarten and 1st grade in Lafayette for 13 years, then stayed home with my own kids for 12 years. In 2020-21, I taught 1st grade at Klondike, and in 2021-22 I moved to 2/3 High Ability at KES. My husband, Rusty, works in the Purdue College of Agriculture. Our 3 children are or have all been Nuggets: Maddie (10th grade @ HHS), Katelyn (7th grade @ KMS), Riley (5th grade @ KES). We added Bella, a Labrador Retriever puppy, to our family in April 2023! I enjoy running, cheering on the Purdue football and basketball teams, and spending time with family.
