Hello Students and Families! 

I’m Kimberly Hirsch and I am so excited to be teaching first grade in Pelham this year! I’ve been a teacher for over ten years, but for the past twelve, I’ve been at home raising my two awesome boys.

I grew up in Massachusetts and went to Providence College in Rhode Island. After college, I moved all the way to Nevada, where I taught 3rd grade for nearly ten years. I absolutely loved teaching, but I stepped away from the classroom when my oldest son, Jaxson, was born. He’s now heading into middle school right here in Pelham!

After Jaxson was born, my family decided to move back to the East Coast—and we chose Pelham! My husband grew up here, and we knew it was the perfect place to raise our family. Our youngest son, Zachary, was born here and is going into 3rd grade at PES this year.

We did spend a few years living in Utah for my husband’s job (and we loved it!), but we missed Pelham too much to stay away. While we were in Utah, I followed a big dream and became a children’s book author! I’ve written four books so far, and I can’t wait to share them with you. 😊

Last year, I started substitute teaching and realized just how much I missed being in the classroom—so here I am, back full time, and I couldn't be happier!

When I’m not teaching or writing, you’ll find me:

I can’t wait for a wonderful year together. It’s going to be amazing! Enjoy your summer and see you soon!

Love, 

Mrs. Hirsch
