Mrs. Kristen Hrinda

I was born and raised in Erie, Pennsylvania and moved to Lexington, SC in 2021. I have a husband, Aaron and 3 children: Abigail, Logan, and Carter. We also have a Labradoodle named Lilly. 

I began my teaching career in 2008 in a Head Start classroom. Additionally, I was a Reading Interventionist/Reading Specialist for 9 years. I’m excited to begin my 3rd year in 1st grade at WKE!

I enjoy anything that involves family time: camping, cruising, movies, beaching, church, swimming, trips to Menchies, and attending my kids’ theater and sporting events. I also enjoy reading, trips to Hobby Lobby and the library, and working on puzzles.
