John Glenn Elementary First Grade


Mrs. Shelly Harmsen
I hope this school year greets you relaxed and as happy as I am to be starting another year here at John Glenn! We have a busy and exciting 1st grade year to look forward to!
I wanted to take a little time to introduce myself. This will be my 14th year at John Glenn, and my 16th in 1st grade. Prior to teaching, I was a Children’s Librarian for about 2 years. As you can guess, I am a huge book lover!
I love to garden and spend lots of time outside reading-when I am not playing with my two beautiful (and wild) dogs. They keep me very busy and entertained. I love to travel any chance I get and am always looking for a new adventure! In fact, I recently took up snorkeling and dance lessons! I spend a lot of time with my family and enjoy learning and passing on traditions to the next generation.
I am looking forward to another great year in First Grade getting to know another great group of kiddos!
