Hello! My name is Kelly Verbeke and I am a Speech-Language Pathologist at Kennedy Elementary School. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Interpersonal Communication Studies with a minor in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse. Shortly after, I pursued my love for education and speech-language pathology, completing post-baccalaureate coursework at the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee before obtaining a Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Concordia University. 

Having grown up in the area, I'm beyond excited to join the Grafton School District and give back to a community that has given me so much over the years. I have a strong passion for supporting children with varying communication disorders. I prioritize open communication and relationship building with my students, families, and educational staff. In my free time I enjoy reading, golfing, and spending quality time with family and friends.
