Hello! My name is Kim Baham, and I am so excited to begin a new year at Higgins Elementary. This is my 9th year at Higgins, and I LOVE it! I am married to Kerry Baham and have two beautiful daughters, Sam and Alex. Mr. Baham teaches choir and music in Bullard. Sam is starting her sophomore year at Baylor University "SIC'EM BEARS"! Alex is a junior at WHS. I'm sure by the end of the year, you will know a LOT about my family because they are my favorite thing to talk about!
WELCOME!
My goal in 2016-2017 is for each of you to know that you make my class special! Your talents, gifts, and personalities make the class unique and awesome! I am so thankful that each one of you was chosen to be in my class. I know that you will offer so much to our learning and to our year in 5th grade. I am excited to get to know you and for us to become a "5th grade family"!
