Kathie Kerr to Join Big Brothers Big Sisters Team

Kathie Kerr will bring her enthusiasm to Big Brothers Big Sisters as the newest member of the match support team on January 2, 2014.  Kerr retires from her 33-year career with the Hereford Independent School District at the end of the year.  Over the years Kerr has worked as an elementary teacher and most recently as a reading interventionist.  Kerr shared, “After spending many years as a teacher,  I have seen first-hand the difference Big Brothers Big Sisters has made in the lives of students.  I knew this would be a great opportunity for me to continue to help students.  A mentor can help mold and support not only students but whole families in many social and emotional aspects of everyday life.”

Kerr has been married to her husband Charlie for 28 years.  Charlie is the owner of Charlie Kerr Realtor, Inc.  They are members of the First Presbyterian Church.  The couple has two children, son Christopher and daughter Amber Ambold.  Christopher and his wife Sabra have two girls, Keelan and Kyndall.  Amber and her husband Eric have two dogs that Kerr refers to as her “grandpuppies”.

Kerr graduated from Levelland High School and went on to earn her Bachelor of Science degree from Angelo State University in Teacher Certification and minored in Math.  Kerr is presently Director for her church’s Vacation Bible School, leader for the Children’s Bible Study at a local apartment complex, Corresponding Secretary for Delta Kappa Gamma Delta Xi Sorority, a member of the Texas Classroom Teachers’ Association, and has raised funds for various causes including Big Brothers Big Sisters’ Bowl for Kids’ Sake.

Kerr is enthused about her new position as Match Support Specialist with the agency.  She said, “I look forward to watching both children and adults being matched to grow a life-long relationship that benefits both.  I know this relationship will help support the family and the child at school so that the child grows into a productive citizen.”
