About Ms. Kim

Come in and be welcome!

My name is Kimberly Liebenberg-Battles, and I am excited for my second year as a classroom teacher at Chávez Elementary. I’ve been supporting teachers across many grade levels at Chávez since I moved to Oregon in 2012.

Many people ask, “Where are you from?”. As I tell my students, this is a complicated question. I’ve lived all over the country from Kansas, to New York, to Virginia, and more. In our classroom we work towards embracing our many diverse histories, emphasizing that no matter where we are from, we all belong here.
