Update ON INJURED FORMER Principal

Former La Crescenta Elementary Principal Kimberly Bishop is at her home in Hawaii “walking and feeling great” she said on Sunday. Bishop is recovering from a shark attack.

Bishop was kayaking in Hawaii on April 23 when a shark hit her kayak. She went into the water and said she “felt a chomp” on her leg. Her husband and some good Samaritans in the area were able to get her to the shore, where paramedics attended to her injuries. She was air evacuated to a hospital where she underwent surgery.

As positive as always, Bishop has remained in good spirits, not allowing a shark attack to stop her from enjoying her Hawaiian retreat.
