Ms. Shelia Thomas - Special Education / Inclusion

My name is Shelia Thomas and I have been a Super Bee since 2007. I have taught 1st, 3rd, and 4th grades here, and now I teach special education. I love being a teacher because students make me laugh every single day.

I have a grown son who is 31 named Robert and he just got married in October! I am blessed to have a daughter-in-law now named Victoria.  I love animals, especially dogs. In my picture, you can see me holding one of my sister's special needs dogs. He is a cutie!
