SHILOH TODAY Kim Darr Tell us about your Shiloh career: In 2007, I moved from Little Rock to Northwest Arkansas for our family to open “The MAD Pizza Company.” That fall, I began teaching 3rd grade at Shiloh. I was thrilled to have my kids with me that year, Madison (1st grade) and Cooper (Pre-K3), who have since graduated from Shiloh. After one year in the classroom, Mrs. Foley asked me to pray about teaching Elementary Music. I clearly heard the Lord say, “Take this step and put your trust in Me,” even though it was out of my comfort zone. Nineteen years later, I’m still here and have the joy of leading our Fine Arts Department and directing the secondary musical, which has always been a dream of mine. What do you love most about your job? I genuinely love what I do! What I love most are the relationships I’ve built with students and staff over the years. Shiloh truly is a FAMILY. I saw that family show up in the most powerful way this year when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The outpouring of prayer, concern, and encouragement was overwhelming. I was surrounded by love and support from faculty, staff, and students. One of the most unforgettable moments was “Pink Day,” when the entire student body and faculty wore pink in my honor and helped raise money toward medical expenses. I will never forget standing in the worship center during elementary chapel and later in the secondary cafeteria, and seeing a sea of pink. I was, and still am, overwhelmed by the blessing of that day. Thank you, Shiloh. I’m still not over it, and I hope I never am. 26 KIM DARR
