I am Shannon Lewis, 5^th Grade Social Studies and Science Teacher at Vernon Middle School.  I am so excited to have the daily opportunity to teach the leaders of the future!  I grew up in a small Louisiana town in Washington Parish, about an hour north of New Orleans.  After marrying, and raising my children to school age, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher.  My family and I moved to the west side of Louisiana 15 years ago, and I enrolled in McNeese State University, and began to make my dream of teaching a reality.  I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 2012, and a Masters of Teaching degree in 2014.  I have been married for 20 years  to a Spanish teacher.  I have a 17 year old daughter, and a 13 year old son.  When I am not teaching I like to read and sew.
