“There is no one who promotes, models, and instills a passion for reading and writing more than Shannon Anderson. Her enthusiasm is natural and she understands best practices. On an annual basis, we have parents who want the ‘Mrs. Anderson Experience’ she delivers for her students and our school.” ~Principal Chad Wynn – Van Elementary School
