Here are just a few brief words for Shirley on behalf of three decades of 5th graders that have passed through the Upper Primary on the way to Middle School. They undoubtedly remember Shirley for her steadfast commitment to shepherding young learners in the valuable role of Educational Assistant. Beyond her support in the classroom Shirley also served as the Upper Primary yearbook representative, a thankless job that had her taking photos, checking names and making sure the books were handed out on time and correctly. During her time at HKIS, she also helped graduate two of her own children–Rahul '97 and Natasha '03. Thank you for everything you've done, Shirley!
