Shannon Pittman, a 5th-grade teacher, was also recognized for her exceptional contributions. She is known for her unwavering belief in her students and her efforts to empower them in their learning. Mrs. Pittman writes positive notes to students and provides small tokens of appreciation to show her genuine care for their well-being. Her dedication extends to helping her team plan engaging lessons and serving as an intervention case manager to support both students and teachers. Her thoughtfulness and commitment to education make her an irreplaceable part of Olive Chapel Elementary.
This recognition was made possible with the support of local businesses, including FRESH. Local Ice Cream and McDonald's, which helped celebrate the APSF Shoutout honorees.
