My name is Andria Kinninger, but most of my kids call me "Mrs. K". I have lived in the Greenville area my whole life. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in Elementary Education. This is my 21st year of teaching! I taught for 4 years in a regular classroom and then decided to stay home when my first child was born. I missed teaching so I became a substitute with Greenville County Schools. During that time I obtained my Gifted and Talented Endorsement and then returned to the classroom and taught in the Gifted and Talented program at the elementary school level. I then came back to Fountain Inn Elementary full time and worked in the Media Center and then worked as a Reading Interventionist. Last year I taught 1st grade and this year I am returning to Reading Intervention and Gifted and Talented, and couldn't be more excited!
My family and I currently live in Fountain Inn. I have two children, Ava who is 19 and and pursuing a career in dance, and Will who is going into the 8th grade. My husband, James, and I have been married for 22 years. We have two cats; Mia and Fluffy!
As a teacher, I will strive to help all students reach their maximum potential and showcase their natural abilities. I look forward to learning more about all of you! Please let me know if I can ever help you in any way!
