Library Media Specialist - Karen Thomas

My family and I moved to Kingston 1983 when my husband, Richard, was hired at Kingston High School.  For the next 19 years he was Kingston's Vo-Ag instructor before becoming superintendent at Caddo Public Schools.  He retired this past year.  My husband and I have two wonderful daughters -  Amber Beezley who is an office manager at a dental office in Sherman, Texas, and Maegan Landgraf who is a fourth grade teacher here at Kingston Elementary.  In addition, we have three grandchildren who are my pride and joy -  Hailee, a fresman at Pottsboro High School, Mason who is in 1^st grade here at KES, and Rayden who is three year old.  In addition we will be welcoming twins to our family this coming February!

 I began my teaching career at Kingston in 1994 at the Middle School as a Language Arts/Social Studies teacher.  After 11 wonderful years teaching primarily 7th and 8th graders, I transfered to the elementary as the Library Media Specialist in 2005.  It was one of the best decisions of my life!  I enjoy working with elementary students and helping them develop a love of reading.
