She has worn a lot of hats at Benton including teaching MS/HS Special Education, MS interventionist, and 7th grade Social Studies. In her free time, she likes to spend time with her family and friends, try new restaurants, read, and hike.

Kim is the Instructional Coach at Keystone Elementary & serves the district as the PK-6 Professional Development Leader. Kim has always considered herself lucky to have been born and raised a Bobcat and she enjoys creating opportunities for others to fall in love with this great community just like she has. If she's not at school, you can usually find her coaching or cheering for her 3 boys.

Each year kicks off with bus safety and evacuation drills! June Folkmann, Director Tim Lyons, and Deputy Brandt talk about being safe and responsible bus passengers.
