Shannon Green was nominated by an anonymous colleague.

"Shannon is the absolute best!  She goes above and beyond for each of her students, and her reputation far preceded her before I got to know her and see her in action," said her nominator. "She's concerned about the whole child and demonstrates that daily, without fail!"

Mrs. Green takes extra moments to listen to her children, to hold class meetings to address life's lessons (lessons that won't or can't be taught in a reading or social studies book), and to make each lesson a true learning experience for all.  Each year, she establishes such a close-knit, mutual relationship with each of her students.  They all know they can depend on Mrs. Green and confide in her, regardless of the issue and regardless of whether they're a current or previous student. Everyone knows and loves Mrs. Green dearly, from the students to the staff members. In her mild-mannered, quiet way, she's always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need.

"Shannon's not only the definition of a LifeChanger in the lives of students, but in the lives of adults, as well," said her colleague.

Shannon Green is such a joy to watch in action! I have learned so much from her in such a short time! She is an example to students and teachers alike, and finds ways to make learning meaningful and fun even during this crazy time! She is so deserving of this award!

Shannon is an inspiration to her students, as well as her colleagues. She goes above an beyond to develop community within her classroom and the school. She is constantly searching for ways to actively engage her students. Thank you, Shannon, for all that you do for others!

I am so happy that Shannon was nominated. Mrs.Green is an inspiration to me as a teacher. This amazing woman comes in ready to make a change in her students lives on a daily basis. She constantly goes the extra mile for her students. She is that teacher that we all remember with fondness, the teacher that we look back on and say, "wow she really changed my life".

Shannon does an amazing job of bringing her A game everyday. She presents ELA/SS in an interactive way by integrating the arts (music/visual/drama/dance). If you were to interview her current and past students, they would unanimously agree that they learned more meaningful content in meaningful ways than in any year of their schooling. She is the best there is at her craft, and we are blessed beyond words to have her at EASoA.

Shannon is an AMAZING teacher! The love and compassion she shows her student encourages them to be life long learners. Because of Mrs. Green, my daughter developed a love for history. Thank you for all that you do for East Aiken School of the Arts!

Mrs. Green is the kind of teacher that makes you want to join her class. If you’re walking past and hear her teaching, you want to stop and listen. Always encouraging, positive and fun.

Shannon is a one of a kind teacher. She is always positive and loves what she does. It shows every day when she is teaching a lesson, taking to a student or a coworker. She is so deserving of this award.

Shannon Green is one of the most passionate and talented teachers I have ever met! She goes above and beyond daily to help her students achieve. To listen to her teach is a pleasure. You can truly hear the kindness and care in her voice. East Aiken would be a worse place without her!
