FACULTY LOUNGE citron shares ms. shelley bivens' passion for teaching

Ms. Shelley Bivens believes “teaching is the best career on earth!” and it shows in her zest for guiding the junior kindergartners in her class at the Citron campus.  She has been with Fairmont for the past four years; teaching junior kindergarten for three years and kindergarten for one year.  She is also the campuses’ math and science curriculum coordinator.  Shelley came to Fairmont with a BA degree in Cross-Cultural Teaching and she also has her CA elementary teaching credential.  

“We were not given knowledge to keep for ourselves, but to impart to the next generations,” she says.  Her favorite part of her job is “experiencing the joy that comes when students understand a concept and begin applying it. I love it when students go home and share what they learned in the classroom that day!”  In her free time, Shelley enjoys running, reading, watching football, Bible study and spending time with friends and family.
