About your teacher
Name: Kimberly Williams
Hometown: Thomasville, GA.
About Me:
I am the daughter of Shanta' Larkins and the late Michael Williams. I was born and raised right here in Thomasville, GA! I stayed here until I went to college at Valdosta State University. I have a daughter, Faith, who is almost 7 and starting first grade this year!!! I also have two birds (parakeets) named Sprite and Skye, a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix, named Cutie Pie AND an orange tabby cat named Butterscotch! I am no stranger to Harper Elementary because I attended school here when I was a child. It is a wonderful feeling to be back in my hometown and to be able to give back to a community from which I came and that helped to mold me into the person I am today. I look forward to working closely with you and your child this school year. I believe in parent-teacher teams, and want you to be involved in every aspect of your child's learning...believe me it makes a world of difference. Let's have an awesome year!
