My name Is Madeline “Maddie” Kerr and I am the 4/5th Grade Teacher at Community. I am originally from the Chicagoland area in Illinois and I moved to Washington the summer of 2019 to start a new adventure out West. I love any outdoor activity specifically hiking, bike riding, camping and kayaking along with playing basketball and opening up a good book. I don’t have any children of my own, but I do have an adventurous tabby cat named Loki. I love working with kids and seeing them grow within their realm and I can’t wait to celebrate the growth of learning together!
