Meet Shannon Owens
What is your role this year?
I’ll be teaching Second Grade this year!
Tell us about your family.
My husband and I just celebrated our two year anniversary! We have a golden retriever named Sunny. My mom lives in Erie, PA where I grew up. I have an older sister who lives in Kent, OH and she’s a photographer. My little brother is living in Pittsburgh, PA currently and works at Highmark. We’re all spread out but love to catch up often!
What hobbies or interests do you have outside of work?
I love being with my husband and my dog, embroidery, cooking, reading, hiking, drinking coffee, and exploring my new state! We moved here from Cleveland, Ohio in January.
Why do you choose to work at Oakland Christian School?
Coming from a previous Christian school, I know how amazing it is to be able to share Jesus’ love with the students, staff, and families. I am overjoyed to be back in a Christian School. From the short amount of time I’ve been here, I can already tell this place is very special. I cannot wait to begin teaching here.
What is your favorite Bible Verse?
2 Corinthians 12:9 “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
This reminds me that I am not in control, and I can do nothing apart from Christ!
