About
This Site
This Web site exists to
share information about the Kimmins Foundation and
about improving education for Children and Families in
Tampa Florida, as well as in schools around the
country, even around the world. Although the Kimmins
Foundation works locally, we believe the dialogue
about how to improve family education should be held
broadly and include anyone with a desire to
contribute. Your feedback is appreciated. Please send
comments to the Webmaster.
