Mrs. Kelty was born and raised in Connecticut but currently lives in Long Island. In her spare time, Mrs. Kelty enjoys being outdoors, crafting for all occasions, and spending time with family, friends and her two puppies!

Mrs. Corinne Kelty received her Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Hofstra University and her Masters at St. John's University in Teaching English to Students of Other Languages. This is her first year as an official member of the TALES staff as a Science teacher for first, second, and third grade.

This year at TALES, Mrs. Kelty will be taking big strides in making the school garden as colorful and fruitful as possible. Her hopes are to educate students on healthy eating habits, how to care for nature, and to experience new healthy foods grown straight from our own school garden. Over the summer, we've already been lucky enough to see some fruits and vegetables flourish!
