Hello! I am Kim Harrington and I am so excited about this school year.  I have been a DLE Lion teaching fifth graders math and science since Donald Leonetti Elementary opened in 2017. 

I graduated from Texas State University with a bachelor's degree in Business Management.  I then decided to get my teaching certificate.  I have been teaching fifth graders since 2004 and I have been teaching in Fort Bend ISD since 2008. I love what I do and feel very fortunate to be teaching at DLE.

My husband and I moved from Austin to Sienna in 2003.  We love our neighborhood and have seen so much growth since we moved in. This is a big year for our family.  Our oldest daughter graduated from Ridge Point High School in 2022and is in her second year of college. My youngest daughter is beginning her journey as a sixth grader at Thornton Middle School.  

When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family.  We love spending time outdoors.  We enjoy traveling to beaches, lakes and rivers in the summer and snow skiing in the winter.   

Fifth grade is a year full of new and exciting experiences.  We have a lot of fun in fifth grade and we have high expectations in the classroom. We also believe in building a growth mindset in our students. I am so excited to be your child's teacher.  I am looking forward to a successful year with you and your child.  Together we will continue to make DLE “The Greatest Place to Be!”

My conference period is from 9:50-10:35 Monday - Friday by appointment.  I can meet virtually, by phone or in person.

We are the Leonetti Lions.

The strength of our pride is our HEART!
