Teacher Bio: Hi! I’m Kelly Krutz, and I’m thrilled to be teaching again this year. Originally from Colorado, I’ve been homeschooling my two boys for seven years and have been part of the Tampa Bay HEAT community for five years. Teaching is something I truly love, and I enjoy creating hands-on, engaging lessons that make learning exciting and memorable. Outside of teaching, I’m a homeschooling mom and crafter who loves spending time outdoors. Whether it’s a day at the beach, exploring nature, or simply enjoying fresh air with my family, I believe learning happens everywhere—not just in the classroom! Even though I’ve traded the mountains for the ocean, my love for adventure and the outdoors remains strong. I’m looking forward to another fun-filled year of learning and discovery with my students!
