Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First
Kim Adrian, local business owner, mom to two, cheerleader to many.
Though a mother of two young men, one Kimball mom is known at Kimball High School as a second mom by many.
Kim Adrian, mom to Nolan, who is graduating college at Chadron State and Kaden, a junior at Kimball High, has made herself known by attending nearly every home game, even when her own children are not participating. Not only does she watch the games, she gets involved – cheering, standing, clapping, and so much more.
Throughout the speech season Kim made an effort to watch everyone at the meets, often traveling many miles to do so.
She makes everyone's day by asking the easiest question, "How is your day going?"
A Kimball High School alumni, Kim still believes that Kimball is an amazing community. She thought so highly of Kimball that she moved from Denver back to Kimball so her children could grow up here.
Kim joined the Booster Club as one way to stay involved. She helps put together a sports video, the senior banners, and many other activities.
She is also a part of the Kimball Music Parents group, helping organize trips for the music students every three years, helping with bake sales, soup suppers and other fun fundraisers.
"I like volunteering. When anyone needs anything, I am willing to give a helping hand," she said. "I try to come to as many things as possible, they have come to count on me to always be there and them on."
Not only does Kim make time for home games, away games, and clubs, she maintains her local spa and salon business for the past seven years.
She has taught her own children the value of hard work, the importance of volunteering and she has been a huge support to many students at Kimball High School, who love seeing her bright smile while cheering the Longhorns on from the stands.
As her youngest son nears adulthood, Kim is considering how best to positively affect the lives of students.
"I would like to remain involved on some level even after Kaden graduates," she said. "I think I would really like to become a mentor with the Teammates program."
