Hello from Shauna Keene

Hello there Pearson Grads!

Well, I followed my dream and became a teacher. I attended Western and I was lucky enough to complete 2 practice teaching sessions at Pearson!!! It was so neat teaching with the greats: D. Wasse, L. Jones, J. Case, R. Bird, J. Ainsley, and others. What a bizarre feeling to eat in the forbidden staff room and go behind the scenes! There are a handful of fabulous new teachers too. T. Da Silva and J. De Pace were my practicum advisers. What an awesome experience!
My husband Jeff and I are so glad to be home in London after living in Oakville and Burlington for 3 years. I taught Art from 1-8, PS and JK Music, 2,3,4 Drama, etc. and lead hip hop and art clubs at Fern Hill School.
Now that we are home, I have been volunteering at Pearson and other schools. Hopefully I will be able to supply at Pearson in the near future. What a fabulous experience to complete the circle from student to trained teacher!
Pearson hasn't changed, except that the library has been painted blue and the golden shag carpet is now a different colour. The halls are as thriving as ever with eager and talented students. I've had a chance to catch a glimpse of the 2006 recording of Reflections and it is spectacular. It makes me smile that all of my past teachers remember my name and usually have an anecdote to share with me. We were so lucky. I hope that you are all doing well. I know you are doing great things.
Here's a picture of my hubby Jeff and I from Christmas. (I still look the same!)
Take care,
Shauna Keene
