My name is Kayla Bettise and I teach elementary art at a number of the schools in the Billings Public School district. I teach 4th, 5th, and 6th graders at all over the city and have taught at 16 of the 22 elementary schools in Billings. I am a second generation educator and have been part of the district for ten years now. I LOVE teaching! As soon as restrictions lift, I will be offering after school Art programs through Arts Without Boundaries at a number of our schools. I'm looking forward to another fun-filled year and am SO glad to be back in the classroom!
I graduated from the University of Montana with a degree in Fine Art and K-12 Art Education and a minor in Art History and Criticism. My specialty was in drawing and mixed media, but I enjoy all aspects of the arts. My Masters is in Integrated Arts in Education through the UofM as well! I'm a die-hard Griz fan and I also coach tumbling and teach summer camps for gymnastics and art. I love the outdoors, music, spending time with my pup & Mr. Bettise, and yoga!
