Ms. Kristy McGovern
Hello my name is Kristy McGovern. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a degree in Elementary Education. I have been teaching elementary education for 13 years. I have been at Polenta Elementary for 10 years, where I have taught 1st and 2nd grade. I taught 1st grade for five years and this upcoming year will be my fifth year in 2nd grade. This year I will be teaching my class virtual! I am very excited about this upcoming year and the new adventures we will have!
My favorite drink is Propel Water. I love Peach or the new Vitamin Boost Propel Apple Pear flavor.
My favorite snacks are the carmel/cheddar popcorn (by smartfood), dried fruit, and turkey jerky.
