My name is Kim Brandenburg.  I have a BA in Middle Grades Education (science and social studies) and an MA in School Counseling.  This will be my 22nd year teaching.

I am married to Martin Brandenburg who is also a teacher and a coach in Fleming County.  We enjoy spending time together and traveling. I also love to curl up with a good book and spoil my chihuahua, Banjo.

I will be teaching 6th Grade Team 1 Science this year.  

Teacher grade books will be set up in Infinite Campus.  All teachers will assign grades weighted as follows:
