About Me
Hello! My name is Miss Kies. I teach Kindergarten at Juniata Elementary School in the Altoona Area School District. I have truly enjoyed being a part of the Juniata community and building my teaching career here.
I graduated from Mount Aloysius College in May 2024 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Level Education (PreK–4). Becoming a teacher has been a lifelong dream of mine, and I feel grateful to be living that dream in such a supportive and wonderful district. I am also continuing my education by pursuing a Master’s Degree in Literacy, with the goal of becoming a Reading Specialist.
In my classroom, I strive to create a positive, engaging, and supportive environment where all students feel encouraged to learn, grow, and do their very best. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time outdoors, watching TV and movies, traveling to new places (especially the beach),cleaning and organizing, attending festivals and events, and most importantly, spending time with my loved ones. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out using the contact information on this page. I look forward to a wonderful year together!
