A talented baker and cook, she regularly indulges Winchendon’s students and her colleagues with great food. Kelly puts her remarkable educational and organizational skills to the test every day as Assistant Head of School for Program. She is passionate about unleashing the potential of each student, connecting with families, watching student’s progress during their time at The Winchendon School, and she ensures that the teachers are trained in the best individualization practices and strategies. If all that doesn’t keep her busy enough, she is always pitching in to help organize the next event for the students, whether it is a day at the amusement park, dance, or any of many other fun events.
