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."

When I first started third grade I met my teacher Mrs. Edmondson. She helped me make friends at the new school. She helped me to read better and do better at math. She helped me improve my grades from the past years. She also helped me through hard times.You are the best third grade teacher that I know. I hope that you keep up your job, and keep helping kids learn and grow. Also tell your students that if the don’t be good that when they are in middle school that they can get in some big trouble. So everyone that was is Mrs. Edmondson's class or is in Mrs. Edmondson’s class please nominate Her. She is the Best teacher I know, and this is why I nominated Mrs. Edmondson.

Shannon is an amazing teacher and human being. I could not be more proud of her. I have watched her hard work and love of teaching from close up to afar. If anyone deserves attention for being a life changer it is Shannon. Love you to the moon and back!
