Hello and welcome to 6th grade ELA!

My name is Shannan Richard and I am so excited to teach English Language Arts and Reading at Lake Olympia Middle School!

I graduated from Kaplan University with my Bachelor's of Science in Business Administration and Management. I completed my Alternative Certification Program with The Texas Institute for Teacher Education.

Although, this is my fourth year teaching, I am no stranger to Fort Bend ISD. I was a previous employee of Fort Bend ISD, I have lived in Fort Bend for over 25 years and I also attended Dulles High School as a teenager. I have a real love for our wonderful and colorful community.

In addition to teaching, I love reading, swimming, trying new foods, traveling and exploring new places. But, most of all I enjoy spending valuable time with my family.  My favorite thing about teaching is getting to know each student and watching them grow as young learners and as people. My goal is for my students to not only learn from me, but to also learn from those around them to be successful in reaching their full potential!
