Meet Mrs. King

      My name is Kimberly King.  I was born and raised in Boise, Idaho.  I moved to Montana fifteen years ago when I joined a Forest Service Fire Crew in the Bitterroot Valley.  I enrolled at the University of Montana soon after. 

     I worked my summers as a Wildland Firefighter/ EMT-B until 2006.  In 2006 I spent half of a summer working as a lookout for the Bitterroot National Forest. I then went on to work for the Forest Service in a new capacity in Recreation as a Rec-Tech.   I student-taught at Victor School in the Fall of 2004.  I then continued to do volunteer work at the school.  My first year teaching was in September of 2005 at Victor School. I am beginning my tenth year in education.  I love my job!

     I am a Meadowlark and I am excited to be teaching 3rd grade.  I taught 3rd grade my first two years of teaching.  I worked at Emily Dickinson Elementary last year as a 5th grade teacher.  I was also the 6th grade teacher and Native American Education Coordinator for Victor School for six years.  I look forward to creating a cooperative, positive working environment for my students in the third grade!

     I have a loving husband of eight years. We met on a fire some thirteen years ago. We now have a family that consists of a little girl who is seven and two wonderful dogs ( Brutus-a Saint Bernard and Sue-a Golden Retriever). 

     My family and I are very active, out-going people.  We enjoy most outdoor activities. I really enjoy hiking.  I like to spend my winters on the ski hill. I snowboarded for 10 yrs and switched to skiing 7 years ago, what a wonderful sport! I am a canner and berry picker too. I also love traveling.  I have visited Costa Rica, Italy, and Thailand.
