Hello! I am Ms. Kurtz, and I am so excited to be a part of Eagle Heights Elementary School this year! I graduated from Missouri State University in 2016 with my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. This is my second year teaching 4th grade and I am looking forward to lots of new adventures!
I was born and raised in Willard, Missouri. Much like Smithville, Willard is a small town right outside of Springfield, Missouri. Most of my family still lives there and I love to go visit them. I still feel new to the area and in my free time I have enjoyed exploring the wonderful things Smithville and the surrounding Kansas City area has to offer. I love the outdoors and hiking. I also enjoy running and try to participate in as many races as I can. I am an avid Chicago Cubs fan and nearly fainted during Game 7 of the 2016 World Series. Go Cubs Go! Lastly in my free time I love to travel, see new places and cultures and create new memories.
