My name is Kelley Smith and I am in my 36^th year of teaching students with special needs.  I have been at Alston Middle for 21 years.  I attended the College of Charleston where I received my Bachelor’s degree in 1987 and my Master’s Degree in 1999. I teach Functional Reading and Math, Life Skills and Vocational Skills. I love cooking lessons with my students the most and watching their faces light up when they learn something new.  I believe all students are a gift.  They just open their packages at different times.
