My name is Shannon Palichuk.  I attended Indiana University Northwest where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education.  I also earned endorsements in Mildly Mentally Disabled and Learning Disabilities.  In 2013, I earned my Master's Degree in Education from Indiana Wesleyan University!  This is my nineteenth year teaching in Hobart, and I just love it!  I taught third grade for seven years, and this is my twelfth year teaching second grade. 

My husband and I began dating while we were in high school!  We were married in 1998, and decided that Hobart would be a wonderful place to raise a family.  I have two HIGH SCHOOLERS!  Yikes!  Our daughter, Madeline, is seventeen years old.  She's a senior at Hobart High School.  This summer she worked as a lifeguard at the Hobart Pool, and she went on some college visits, so it's been an exciting time for her!  Our son, Jackson, is fifteen years old, and he's a sophomore.  This summer he got his driver’s permit, and now he's playing soccer for the Brickies!  We also have a black lab named Wrigley and a yellow lab pup named Murphy! 

My family and I had a great summer!  I spent lots of time reading and floating in the pool.  I also got to read lots of books, which is one of my favorite things to do!

I can't wait to learn all about my students!  I'm looking forward to a great year!
