Sailer, Ms.

About Me:

My name is Ms. Kelly Sailer and I teach Business Education classes at Crivitz Middle/High School.  I worked as a substitute teacher in 4 area school districts for 20 years and have also been employed as an accountant in the government sector and a business manager for a municipal utility.  I am especially excited for the opportunity to teach Personal Finance classes to students!  Every student, no matter their future plans, will benefit from the concepts in these classes, which include budgeting, banking, using credit and borrowing money for college.
