Welcome to my web-site! It's a brand new year and I am looking forward to
working with the students, their parents, and the new teachers in our
system.
Some of the activites I sponsor are Safety Patrol, We the People, Project
Citizen, Jr. Beta, and Clover Bowl. The Jr. Beta co-sponsor this year is Mrs.
Blevins. My classes, as part of their civic responsibility, participate in
recycling, and collecting can tabs, box tops, Sunny D labels, Capri Sun
pouches, and Campbell's soup labels.
I grew up in a military family. My father served 23 years in the Army, one
of my brothers served in the Army, another brother served in the Marine Corp,
and all but one uncle served in the military. Both my sons served in the
military, one in the Marine Corp and one in the Air Force. I have a special
place in my heart for those who serve and their families. Each year my class
adopts a deployed unit and collects items for HUGE Christmas stockings
and Easter baskets.
I encourage student responsibility and parent participation. If you have time
to help in class, please let me know - there's always something to do. If you
have questions or concerns please call (423-837-7282 ext. 310) or e-mail me
(kfox@richardhardy.org). If you would like to meet with me in person,
please call to make an appointment. Our class is very busy; please be
patient. I usually check my email & voice mail at the end of each day, and
will respond as soon as possible.
My mission is to provide:
1. the educational tools my students need to be successful,
2. a comfortable learning environment, and
3. each student with something that will give them a sense of accomplishment.
