Hello! Welcome to the 22-23 school year!.My name is Kathie Harms. This will be my fifth year at Midland Elementary School, and my second year as a first grade teacher. I have been in the field of Early Childhood Education for over 20 years. I previously taught pre-k for 11 years. I absolutely love what I do. Children are incredible. I love watching their growth and accomplishments throughout the year, and I am always amazed with what they can accomplish at such a young age. I look forward to another fantastic year at Midland!

I live in Hopewell with my husband Matt,our two girls Helena and Lenora, and our dog Jack. We love traveling, concerts, and creating some of the best memories.

I graduated from ISU in 2004 with my bachelors in Early Childhood Education. I went back and completed my masters as a Reading Specialist from Lewis University in 2009.

Cheers to a great year at Midland!
