Welcome Mrs. Shannon Harris to the FPG Library



"Hello FPG! My name is Shannon Harris, but you can call me Ms. Shannon or Mrs. Harris. I'm very excited to work with Miss Jessica in the library, and to get to work with all of you while Ms. Cole is at home with her baby. I have two children of my own, one girl and one boy, that are in first and third grade at McDougle. I used to be a teacher when we lived in California, but now I am finishing up school to be a librarian. Some of my favorite things include reading (of course!), running, spending time with my family and traveling whenever I can. Please come by to say "Hello" and introduce yourself. Thank you for hosting me as a guest at your school!"


A Note From Mrs. Cole......
As you know my husband and I are expecting our first child - a baby boy we are naming Jacob this December. We are so excited about this little addition to our family, but I am sad to say this also means I will be leaving FPG for a few months to spend lots of cuddle time at home with our little guy. I am, however, very excited that we were able to snag a wonderful interim library teacher who is very excited to be working with the students and staff at FPG while I am on maternity leave. I have had the opportunity to work with her some these past few weeks and introduce her to our school and many of our students and I know the library will be in wonderful hands with her and Ms. Jessica at the helm. I will keep you all updated with lots of wonderful pictures and stories of little Jacob while I'm gone. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season with family and friends and I will see you all again in the spring. Happy Reading!
