Kimberly Ann (Reynolds) May:  

Hi! My name is Kimberly Ann May, A.K.A Kimmy, KARMA, KimMay, Kimbo, and Mom. I am a 1989 Leominster Senior High School graduate. While attending Leominster Senior High School I pursued business courses and I was a cheerleader for hockey, soccer, and football,as well as a member of the LHS swimteam and various musicals. After graduation, I continued taking dance lessons with Dance Arts Centre. I won an award in 1990 for Dancer of the Year. I also competed in Las Vegas for the title of Miss D.E.A. Although I did not win the title, it was both an honor and privilege to parttake in such a wonderful event and dance in front of the infamous Gregory Hines. Dancing was always a passion of mine. I was actively involved in jazz, ballet, tap, and clogg dancing. Tap being my alltime favorite. In 1990 1991 I took part in Leominster's 250th Anniversary Celebration, where I took first runner up in the Miss Leominster Pageant. I also played the part of a Jet in the play the Westside Story at Mt.Wachusett Community College. I did some light modeling at John Robert Powers in Worcester, MA and I was going thru the process of participating in the Miss Massachusetts Pageant, until I opted to back out due to funds, etc. I also did some modeling for Mary Kay, Paul Mitchell and various bridal shows. From there, I left the protective wings of my parents....and ventured out into the world with no real plans in place. My future husband and I moved into a 3-family apartment located on Arlington Street in Leominster....where we stayed for a couple of years. I held 3 jobs after highschool to help us stay afloat . I worked at The Sheraton cleaning rooms, Shaw's bakery, and for Northern Mortgage Co., Inc., as well as Norwest Mortgage Co., Inc. as a Mortgage Processor. I had always yearned to obtain a college degree, but the timing was not right at the time I suppose. Instead, while a vast majority of my former classmates were in college....I was busy establishing my work history...and I began to build a family of my own. In 1993, I got married to Kevin. We will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary on May 29th of this year. In 1994, we gave birth to our first child, Brianna, and we purchased our very first home. In 1996, we gave birth to our second child, Colleen. While our children were growing up, I worked part-time at JCPenney, and I was also a part-time pre-k 4 teacher's aide at Julie Country Day School. I also took care of my cousin's two boys during the day. I was actively involved with the kids elementary education. I would often volunteer my time and creativeness during school fairs, etc. At one point, I was St.Leo's substitute art teacher. Boy was that fun! I had a blast with all the kids. I also volunteered to do facepainting for Senator Antonioni, the former Sheriff, John Flynn, various schools, and at JCPenney sponsored events. I was also a member of the St.Leo's float committee. I helped decorate the school float that year....and the girls dressed up in period clothing and played the roll as students learning about Johnny Appleseed. We utilized a close friends tractor trailer truck....LOL! That year I dressed as Leo the Lion and marched thru all of downtown during the parade. Ironically, they put me in back of the horses. Need I say more. LOL!...Expand for more
