Miss Shannon Saltzsieder

I am the youngest of three sisters! My family of five lives in five different places across three different states, but we make it work and are always catching up!

Miss Saltzsieder went to Florida Gulf Coast University for college. Go Eagles! When I was in school, I loved writing classes of any kind. I enjoy creative writing as a hobby.

In my free time, I love to read and watch movies!

My one true love in this world is my dog, the amazing Bueller! He is my rescue, a pitbull/german shepherd/ staffy mutt 🙂 He is also from Florida so he hates the snow but we are adjusting.

I feel like everyone knows my summer job each year is at Disney World 🙂 I have worked there the last five years and enjoy going back to each year to make more magic! My other fun fact is I have been to every Disney park in the world. That includes America, France, and all four Asia parks!

Mrs. April Hamm- Online 3rd Grade Teacher

Mrs. Hamm married into a big family! It’s just my husband and I, but he has lots of grown kids and grandkids I get to share. My stepdaughter and her family rent the upstairs, and we live in the downstairs apartment. There is always someone to love here. They also drink all my soda!

I went to Florida Community College at Jacksonville and University of North Florida. I also went to FSU for a year. I studied music and education. I have a masters degree from Western Governor’s University.

My husband and I have a band, and I play the keyboard and sing backup. I also like to read, crochet, camp, and tell funny stories!

In school, writing was my favorite subject. I love being able to express myself.

I love to vacation. I love going to see my family. My family is in Florida, and my husband has family in Idaho, Montana, and Arizona. We love traveling with our camper!

This is my 7th year at Sprucewood!
