I currently hold educator certifications for K-6, PreK-3, Art K-12 and an ESOL endorsement. I have been working at GES since 2006. I’ve had the opportunity to work at GES in many different capacities before getting my ideal job as a Kindergarten teacher. I worked as a teacher assistant, substitute, volunteer, librarian assistant and computer lab assistant. I was chosen as “Rookie Teacher of the Year” for 2011-2012. I married my high school sweetheart and we have two beautiful twins, Kacey and Cody. ![]() Ms. Kelly Lovley - lovleyk@lake.k12.fl.us ![]() Hello!

I always say that teaching chose me as a profession, it is a passion I have had since I was a small child playing school with my younger sibling. I have a bachelors degree in Elementary Education from the University of Central Florida (Go Knights!!), as well as my ESOL and Reading endorsements. I believe that when a student enters into my classroom they become part of my family. I love them and treat them as I would want to be treated. I expect their very best and I also expect that they demand the same from me. If all three paerts of the circle work together (teacher, parent, and student) they can learn no matter what obstacles come their way, and I will be there cheering them on!
