This is Anna’s seventh year teaching and her third year at Eagle Ridge Elementary. She is so happy to be back at ERE and in 5th grade again this year. Anna graduated from the University of Houston - Clear Lake in 2017 with a degree in interdisciplinary studies and jumped right into teaching mid-year. She has experience in 4th grade and 3rd grade. Anna and her family relocated from the Houston area to Denver in the beginning of 2020. This was like coming home! Colorado has always been a second home to the Sheppard family, as all grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles have been here for over 100 years! Anna’s favorite part of teaching is building relationships with her students so everyone feels safe and ready to learn in the classroom.
When she’s not teaching, Anna enjoys playing with her 3 kids (twin 8-year olds and a 4 year old), reading books (especially mysteries), crafting, dancing, and shopping at Target!
