**New Kindergarten Teacher at MPE**

Kaylynn Azer teaches kindergarten in the hippo room at MPE.  This is her first year in the Mahomet-Seymour School District and 16th year teaching. She has previously taught 1st grade, 2nd grade, 4th grade, and kindergarten, which is her favorite grade to teach!

When Mrs. Azer and her husband, Magdi, moved to the area in 2015, it was a homecoming of sorts as she began her teaching career in Illinois. They have two adult sons, Nic (28) and Ryan (22). When she is not at school, she loves to run, garden, read mystery novels, and walk her Goldendoodle, Benji.

She is excited to able to utilize her literacy training to help her students begin their journey toward becoming lifelong learners.
