Welcome!
My name is Lisa Kimes and I am so happy to be starting my eleventh year teaching here at Paradise Schools. However, this is my fifteenth year of teaching. I am a native to Arizona. I graduated from Arizona State University West with my Bachelor's degree in Special Education. My teaching philosophy is based on the premise that all students can learn, despite any obstacle in their path. It is going to be an exciting school year and my goal is to provide all students with an educationally challenging, yet fun, experience in my classroom.
I have a wonderful family. I have two daughters. My oldest, Taylor, graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelors degree in Molecular Cellular Biology and my youngest, Sage, is in 11th grade. Sage has been at Paradise Schools since kindergarten and is attending her third year at PHHS. Taylor and I share a love of reading. Sage and I enjoy going to the movies together. Our favorites are Disney. We also share our home with our fur babies, a Jack Russel Terrier/Chihuahua mix named Celeste, a German Shepherd/Husky/Rottweiler mix named Kuma (Japanese for Bear) and our cats Luna, Hoshi (Japanese for Star) and Arashi (Japanese for Storm). I have one other love and that is bats!! (Yes, the animal) I have a whole collection in my room at school and at home.
My Favorites:
Color: Purple Drink: Starbucks/Coke Zero Store: Target/Michael's Food: Salad Pastime: Reading/Pinterest
Animal: Bats
