Hello and welcome to 4th grade! I am so excited to get to know you and to embark on this adventure together. I grew up in New York and have been living in North Carolina for nearly a decade. My husband and I love it here! We have two daughters who are still very little. Their names are Remi and Abbey. We also have a dog named Egg and two cats. When I’m not teaching, I am probably reading, hiking, or believe it or not, playing video games!

OCE is one of the most welcoming places I have ever walked into, and I cannot wait to welcome your student to 4th grade! I graduated from NC State with a degree in Elementary Education and also earned a horticultural certificate. I live in Cary with my husband, Ryan, our golden retriever named June, and our Siberian cat named Albus (Dumbledore!). Outside of school, I love to read books, spend time with my church family, travel, garden, and be outside! I consider it the greatest honor to be your child's teacher and can't wait to grow together over the year!

Fourth Grade Track 3

I was born and raised in a suburb of Chicago, IL and I graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in Psychology in 2018. This past May, I graduated with my Master’s degree in Elementary Education at Concordia University Chicago. While I took a little bit of a different route into my career, I have been working with kids of all ages since 2016! I have a brother in medical school in Miami, FL, a brother at the University of Missouri, and a sweet pup named Zeke! Never be afraid to ask to see pictures of him because I have plenty and I love to show him off! On weekends, I love watching sports and hanging out with my friends. Despite growing up in Chicago, my dad raised me to be a Packers fan so the only time you’ll see me in blue and orange is when I’m repping the Illini from the University of Illinois. Before COVID, I coached volleyball and I hope to eventually get back into that once I’ve settled here! I am looking forward to exploring North Carolina and getting to know all of you!

My name is Shannon Garrison and I am excited for another year at Olive Chapel Elementary! I've taught for more than 20 years in WCPSS. I have teaching experience in Kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 4th grade. I am a true Carolina girl and have lived in NC my whole life. I graduated from Appalachian State and NC State. I live in Holly Springs and have a sweet dog named Charlie. Some of my favorite things are being at the lake or beach, walking my dog, attending church and spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy reading, shopping and I love fashion! I'm looking forward to a great school year together in 4th grade.

I am honored to be your homeroom teacher. I will also be teaching English Language Arts, partnering with Mr. Brown, who will be teaching Math & Science. This year is going to be full of fun and lots of learning! I look forward to working together to help 4th graders master all of the skills needed to be successful this year and in the future! I have been teaching for 18 years. This is my 1st year at Olive Chapel Elementary. Previously, I taught 1st, 4th, and 5th for the last 10 years. I have a Master’s Degree in Literacy from UNCG and have been Nationally Board Certified since 2015.
Outside of school, I live on the northeast side of Raleigh with a roommate who is in dental hygiene school. I visit my parents and my sister’s family often, who live in Wilmington and Myrtle Beach. I enjoy yoga, running, & coffee! I have visited over 14 countries, but have yet to step foot on the continents of Africa or Antarctica. I hope to see wild penguins one day; they are my favorite animal! I have been vegetarian for about 15 years and I love trying tasty new foods from different cultures. This year is going to be fantastic! I can’t wait to meet you all!
