Shawna Tennison

It brings me joy to see the faces of my scholars everyday and since I teach PK, watching them grow academically and socially is amazing.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I’ve always been a teacher! My family always share stories about how at the age of 5, I was teaching my siblings and toys. I really love sharing what I’ve learn with others.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was a few years ago during the pandemic. We had to go virtual and I teach 4 year olds! Each of my students were logged on EVERYDAY ready to learn and have fun. It was like we were in the same room. They never missed a beat!

What would you do with the $25,000?

After I treat my students to something fun, my husband and I are going to fix up our home with the rest.
