My goal is to help each child reach his or her potential through positive challenges! I aim to get to know your your child's dreams, strengths, and challenges to best meet his or her needs. I believe parents and classmates are key players in developing a nurturing community that helps each child flourish. I will ask that we all join together on this journey. I look forward to working with you this year!
About Me:
My family is the inspiration for all that I do. I am married to Mr. Sheldrup, a science teacher at West High School. We have three amazing children: Taber, Natalie, and Trevor. Together, we all love the outdoors! We discover something new each time we hike, swim, fish, hunt, or camp!
My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. In addition, I enjoy crocheting, walking my dog, and reading.
