Message from Kim Gregory

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Greenville Gifted! I am so excited to get to know your child through the next 6 weeks!  Let me start by introducing myself to you. I am married to a terrific husband and have 2 boys in college and 2 girls (ages 10 and 13).

I was born and raised in Baltimore, MD and graduated from the College of Notre Dame of Maryland.

I hold MD & SC certification in:

  1. Early childhood education
  2. Elementary education
  3. Middle school ELA
  4. Online Teaching
  5. Gifted education
  6. Administration

I have taught for 15 years in the Upstate.  I also teach online classes in the Education Department at Arizona University.

The qualities that make me an effective educator include: organization, motivation, creativity and passion. I believe all children must be pushed and encouraged to reach their fullest potential.   I also believe that learning is never “over” and that even exceptional children need to learn patience and how to work towards continuous improvement.

I look forward to working with you and your child throughout the summer! If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Sincerely,

Kim Gregory
