Hello! My name is Tara Kennison, and I will be teaching English, Writing, and Math this year in 5th grade. This will be my 11th year as a 5th grade teacher, but my first here at OLP! I previously taught at St. Michael the Archangel School in Leawood, KS, for the past 10 years.
I received a Master of Arts degree in Education from Avila University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Rockhurst University. Many moons ago, I was a Parochial League volleyball referee for the Diocese and also attended Christ the King grade school, so I am very happy to be back in more familiar territory!
My husband, Aaron, and I live in south Lee’s Summit with our two daughters, Cecilia and Gracelyn, who both attend OLP ECC. I am very excited to be so close to my girls as well as to be a part of such a wonderful family here at OLP.
