Sara Holley
Hello, my name is Sara Holley. This is my 22nd year of teaching either First grade or Kindergarten. All four of my children attended Kohl Elementary so I have been a proud member of our Kohl community for even longer!
Mila Sbrocca
Hello. My name is Mila Sbrocca. This year will be my 23rd year teaching at Kohl, including 14 years in the classroom and 9 years in the library/Makerspace. My children went to Kohl and I am very thankful to have made my career here.
I am a Colorado native and a BVSD alum. I attended CU Boulder as an undergraduate and earned two Master’s degrees during my teaching years. I have enjoyed challenging myself to continue to learn and grow as an educator and to fill a variety of roles in education.
My husband and I have four children; two getting ready to graduate from college, one entering college (go CU!) and one senior in high school. We also spend a lot of time with our baby, a 15-pound poodle named Charlie. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, (and reading about traveling), hiking, and just being out with friends and family
