KELLY LYNNE ROTZINGER
CAHLAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
Mrs. Rotzinger is an amazing kindergarten teacher who created a safe, happy, and welcoming classroom where every child could grow. Through her patience, creativity, and dedication, she helped her students thrive both academically and emotionally. Under her guidance, Yah’zion showed wonderful improvement in reading and math, gaining confidence and a true love for learning.
Her impact is clearly seen not only by parents but also through measurable success. Mrs. Rotzinger’s class earned the Cub to Cougar class growth award for reading and math, exceeding 63% of classes in reading and an incredible 79% in math in the US. These achievements are more than just numbers—they are proof of the strong foundation she builds for her students every day.
As parents, we see the growth in our children’s confidence, curiosity, and excitement for school, and the test results confirm what our hearts already know. Mrs. Rotzinger believes in her students, celebrates their progress, and never stops supporting them. Her classroom is a place where children feel cared for, capable, and proud of what they can achieve—and that is a gift that will last far beyond kindergarten.
