Shannon Wright
​Parent

​Shannon Wright goes above and beyond volunteering in our school every day. She consistently works day in and day out in the library assisting Rachel and Jim. For the past year, the library has been overhauled, pulling older books and replacing them with new and interesting titles. You can often catch Shannon working quietly in the stacks removing older books, processing them and making space. She uses her previous experience to give her time and knowledge to our community, and the students and library have benefited greatly from days of hard work and dedication.
