Hello, my name is Kimberley Trillet.  My husband and I, with our four children, moved to Horn Lake, Mississippi from North Carolina in 2010, where I received my Master of Library Science from East Carolina University.  I have been a Desoto County Employee for six years serving as a Teacher’s Assistant and also teaching 7th Grade English and 6th Grade Read 180.

My husband and I also serve as Pastor and Pastor’s wife at First Baptist Horn Lake.  We love Desoto County and look forward to helping the parents and students of Walls Elementary for many years to come.

KidRex is a fun and safe search for kids, by kids! KidRex searches emphasize kid-related webpages from across the entire web and are powered by Google Custom Search™ and use Google SafeSearch™ technology.
Google's SafeSearch™ screens for sites that contain explicit sexual content and deletes them from your child’s search results. Google's filter uses advanced technology to check keywords, phrases, and URLs. No filter is 100 percent accurate, but SafeSearch™ should eliminate most inappropriate material.
In addition to Google SafeSearch™, KidRex maintains its own database of inappropriate websites and keywords. KidRex researchers test KidRex daily to ensure that you and your child have the best web experience possible.
We do our best to keep KidRex as up-to-date and comprehensive as possible, but inappropriate sites will sometimes slip through the cracks. If you find websites containing offensive content in your results, please visit our webpage removal request tool to tell us about the site you found.
While KidRex is not a 100 percent foolproof way to keep kids from bad or malicious sites, we think it's a good start. For more pointers on keeping your family safe on the web, please read KidRex's Tips for Online Safety.
