I am Kaylin Thomson (Keyes) and I am the EMU Bright Futures Site Coordinator at Roosevelt-McGrath in Wayne. I received my Bachelor’s in Education with a Language Arts major from Michigan State University in 2009 and also received my endorsement in Cognitive Impairments K-12 through Eastern Michigan University in 2011.  After college I was a classroom teacher for two years in Northern Michigan and then moved back home and spent the next five years here within the Wayne-Westland Community School District as a teacher in various buildings. While I was teaching, I also worked part-time after-school for EMU Bright Futures as a Student Program Instructor at David Hicks Elementary in Inkster. I have been the Site Coordinator at Roosevelt-McGrath since our program began here in 2018! I have been married to my husband Bradley since 2020 and together we have one lovable but mischievous Labrador Retriever named Walter. In my spare time I love watching movies, hanging out with my amazing family, camping & crafting! I am also a huge fan of all things Disney!

Program Description

EMU Bright Futures at Roosevelt-McGrath Elementary serves second through fifth grade students. Our program includes student leadership, student voice/choice, social-emotional learning, positive community engagement and academic extension and support. The students in our program at Roosevelt-McGrath are leaders and take pride in making kind and smart choices both in the classroom and after-school. Our program is unique in that all of our current staff members are also members of the Roosevelt-McGrath community who take on various roles in the school throughout the day. We strive for our program to feel like an extended family for the students and we look forward to continuing to build relationships for years to come!
