Meet Mrs. Kady
Here is a picture of my husband and I on our wedding day!
My name is Julie Kady and I have the honor of being your fifth grade teacher this year! This is my fifth year teaching in Utica Community Schools. I have taught 5th grade for the past four years and I absolutely love it. This is my first year at Schuchard Elementary and I am excited to be a Schuchard Stallion and join the Schuchard family! I have taught for three years at Walsh Elementary and one year at Rose Kidd Elementary, all in Utica Community Schools. I grew up in Shelby Township and attended Utica Community Schools all of my life, as well. In fact, I went to Monfort Elementary, Shelby Junior High and Eisenhower High School. I live with my husband, Jason, who is an Engineer for General Motors and our dog Sophie. Sophie is our three year old morkie. A "morkie" is a maltese and yorkshire terrier mix. You'll hear lots of stories about our little 8 pound barking member of our family.

Here's some information about my educational background. I graduated from Oakland University with a bachelor's of Science degree in Elementary Education back in 2004. I have a major in Language Arts and a minor in Science, which I am endorsed by the state of Michigan. During the summer of 2010 I finished my master's degree in Teacher Leadership through Oakland University. I look forward to continuing to learn throughout my teaching career. I enjoy learning about how I can improve my teaching and help my students succeed in the classroom and in life!
We love to read!
My hobbies include reading, shopping, playing softball and being with family and friends. I play softball every summer with my husband, on a coed softball team. I also enjoy singing. I was in show choir, vocal jazz and musicals when I was in high school. I really enjoy reading, both for fun and education books about classroom practices. My husband and I also enjoy spending time in the summer up in Port Austin at our parents cottages on beautiful Lake Huron.

I hope you'll enjoy growing and learning throughout our year together. I look forward to seeing what new things we will learn about. In my classroom I stress the importance of working together as a team, being responsible, and taking pride in your work. Our classroom motto is: "Do it better than you have to!"
