Music that Describes Shannon
Shannon Edmondson was nominated by an anonymous student.
"Mrs. Edmondson always made learning fun for me," said her nominator. "She always had activities that kept me wanting to learn more. If I did not understand something, she never got frustrated with me. Instead, she found a new way to explain something so that I would understand. She is a very energetic, caring and loving teacher. She goes out of her way to make sure all of the kids in her class feel special."
"I never really enjoyed reading and wasn't great at it, either," said the nominator. "Mrs. Edmondson worked with me for the whole school year. She never gave up on me. By the end of the school year, I was enjoying reading books that she recommended from different series. This was a huge accomplishment for me! Without her willingness to help me through reading, I would not enjoy it as much today."
"Mrs. Edmondson is a very caring and compassionate person," said her nominator. "When I would have a bad day, she would set me aside and talk with me about it. She would make my day brighter just by talking with me. Even though she is no longer my teacher, whenever I run into her, I always get a huge hug! I will never forget the impact she has made on my life as a person and a student. Mrs. Edmondson is one of those one in million teachers."
