New Art Teacher: Kenzie DeBolt
From Kenzie DeBolt:
I wanted to take some time to formally introduce myself. My name is Kenzie DeBolt and I am thrilled to begin my teaching career as the new art teacher at Hanawalt Elementary in January. I am a recent graduate of Grand View University where I received my K-12 Art education degree and a minor in Photography. I enjoy knitting, taking photographs, spending time with friends and family, and collecting antiques.
In the art room…
Relationships, ideas, growth, sometimes failure, and constant encouragement and discovery are what matter the most. This space is somewhere that students can work to identify their interests and preferences for art making while exploring new ideas and materials. I am looking forward to being part of each students creative process and providing them with meaningful content and experiences.
A Few Reminders

Correction- Our next PTA Social will take place on January 23rd at 6:30, location TBD. This is a great way to meet other parents in the community!
Our next PTA meeting is on February 18th at 6:30pm in the Hanawalt Media Center where we will have 2 guest speakers. Both Jake Troja, Director of School Climate Transformation and Barry Jones, Director of K-8 will be present. They will be there to answer questions and address concerns for Hanawalt parents. We would strongly encourage you all to come so the DMPS administration recognizes the questions and concerns we have as Hanawalt parents and you can get your questions answered.
Please watch out for more volunteer opportunities after winter break! Are you interested in becoming more involved in the Hanawalt Community? If so, please email us at: HanawaltElementaryPTA@gmail.com
