Hey Hikers! My name is Kelsey Hinton. I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, and my family moved to Cary, North Carolina, when I was seven, so I was basically raised here! I have dreamed of being a teacher for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I would play teacher in my room and beg my sister to be my little student as I wrote on my white board. One of my favorite things to do was to shop for school supplies. My love for teaching and children came from my mother who was a first grade teacher for several years!
Before heading off to college, one of the ways I was involved in the triangle was working for the Cary (now Taylor) YMCA. I worked at summer camp and was a site coordinator of a few after school programs. This helped me continue on my path towards becoming a teacher.

I LOVE music - listening, singing, concerts. All of it. I like to read, hang out with my friends and family, craft, play with my dog - Bella, and go see movies and eat popcorn for dinner. I also have a big sweet tooth! Three summers ago, I was married on June 5, 2015 and I'm excited to be Mrs. Hinton! Now, we are expecting our first baby in August - It's a boy!
I have taught both 1st and 3rd grade at Morrisville Elementary. I attended Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, where I received my degree in Elementary and Special Education. I believe every student is unique and has so much to offer the future. As an educator, I want to help children pursue their strengths and discover who they have the potential to become. Nelson Mandela said, "There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living." My hope for my students is that they will leave with a desire to learn and pursue their future with passion and confidence! |
