Mrs. Kim
What is your connection/history with the school?
My daughter Emily Kim was a student at Clairbourn (Class of 2024) and is now a rising 10th grader at Flintridge Preparatory School. My son Benjamin is a current student at Clairbourn (class of 2028) and is excited to start middle school at Clairbourn.
What makes you want to serve on the Board?
Clairbourn is a very special place for our family and I’m excited for the opportunity to give back and serve on the Board. I hope to help in making our school a wonderful place for all the families in our community now and for many years to come.
What work, volunteer, passions, hobbies do you have that give you insite or skills that are helpful to the school?
What is your favorite Clairbourn experience/memory that exemplifies our mission of Creating Scholars and Leaders with Heart?
Two examples come to mind that reflect our schools mission. The first was during a 4th grade “field trip” in the MPB where students were placed in groups to compete in fun and interactive games for points, learning about California history. Games can be tricky, with winning becoming the focus. What stood out to me was how the students cheered each other on and showed genuine support for each other, regardless of points or winning. It was a great example of kindness, teamwork and character. The second moment was when Benjamin, then a kindergartener, dropped a stack of cards near Cougar Corner and was visibly embarrassed and upset. An 8th grade student, who had just gotten out of class came over after seeing what had happened, placed her binder down, helped him pick them up while comforting him. She could have easily just walked by but she chose to show compassion. Her quiet leadership and compassion left a lasting impression on both me and Benjamin.

I hope that my involvement as a parent volunteer and my professional background in education will be helpful as I serve on the Board. Over the years, I’ve served as a room parent, carnival chair, teacher scrip chair, hospitality chair, and also served on the CFA executive board as room parent officer and president. Being involved on campus gives me the opportunity to connect with many families and hear about their experiences and perspectives on various aspects of our school. I also hope that my background as a classroom teacher and my experience in math education, which includes providing professional development for K-2 teachers through UCLA Mathematics Project and contributing in the development of the UCLA Introduction to Algebra middle school program and later supporting its implementation, will allow me to make a meaningful contribution to the Board.
