Education and Professional Background:
My name is Tracy Shannon, and I am honored to teach 6th grade English at Kinard Core Knowledge Middle School and to be a part of the Mustang family. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and completed my teaching credential at California State University, Fresno. I have 18 years of classroom experience—10 years in California and 8 years here in Poudre School District. This year marks my 19th year as an educator, and I feel incredibly fortunate to share my love of literacy with my students each day.
Personal Interests and Hobbies:
I enjoy spending time with my family, and we love exploring the beautiful places around Colorado—hiking, camping, and biking whenever we can. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, running, listening to music, and relaxing with a good book. I’m also proud to serve as one of Kinard’s softball coaches and am excited to contribute to our school’s success both in and out of the classroom!
