Who am I?

Hello! My name is Kimberly Dykes and I teach 6th grade Science. This is my 4th year at Columbia and 10th year teaching. I am excited for a new school year to work with such a wonderful community. I like to spend my free time with friends listening to them play music or being outside exploring beautiful Colorado.

The best way to reach me during the school day is email or Google Hangouts. After school hours the most effective way to communicate with me is text message.
