Shirley Hart
Description
DescriptionFounding Kristin Teacher
As Kristin’s roll quickly began to grow in 1973, it soon became clear that an additional trained kindergarten teacher was needed. Shirley Hart joined Kristin’s kindergarten, working alongside founding head kindergarten teacher, Dawn Wilks. Remaining at Kristin for the next nine years, Dawn later reflected that together they made a “great team.” Shirley passed away in 2018 but is remembered fondly for guiding children through the school’s formative era, witnessing Kristin’s transition from the original Campbells Bay site to the new Albany campus.
