I am very excited to begin another year in Kindergarten at Shields.  Our theme this year is "Camp Kindergarten" and I will head off to camp with you.  I truly have a passion for teaching and love what I do.  I am proud to call Shield's my home away from home.  

I grew up in Ovilla, went to school in Red Oak and I am proud to be an Alumni of Red Oak ISD.  I'm so blessed to have a supportive boyfriend, wonderful son and daughter, and a precious grandson, Landon.  I also have three beautiful cats that look forward to seeing me at the end of the day.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Texas A & M Commerce where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  I am ESL and GT certified.

My favorite things are family and friends, Dr. Pepper, Big Red, Sweet Tea, Mexican Food, and Sour Gummies.  I love to go antiquing, travel, gardening of any kind, and going to the movies with friends.

I am looking forward to an exciting and fun year!  Ms. Sutherland
