About Me

Dear Families,

Welcome, welcome! We are on an adventure together through 1st Grade knowledge and skills! My name is Ms. Sherry Harris and I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about myself.

This will be my 11th year at Callison and my 15th year of teaching.

I have two children, Nigel, who has graduated and is now a Marine and Trinity, who is a twelfth grader. I have lived in the Austin area for over twenty years, but I am originally from the Chicago area.

I am a life-long learner who has attended several colleges / universities. I received my Bachelor degree from the United States Military Academy, West Point, NY. I received my Masters degree from the University of Texas, Austin, TX. And I received my teaching certification from Huston-Tillotson University, Austin, TX.

I spend most of my "free" time reading when I am not keeping up with my kids and trying to stay healthy and active. I have run (walk / jogged :) several 5Ks, the Austin Half- Marathon, and competed in a Triathlon, where I trained to swim, bike and run all in the same race! This year I just got a part time job at HEB as a cashier to see even more of our community (and help pay more bills :)!

My favorite color is purple. My favorite food is Hershey's Chocolate...oops, is that not a food? Is Starbuck's coffee a food? No... then my favorite food is salad! (See, I do love healthy things!)

I am so excited to be teaching your child and look forward to getting to know everyone as we grow and learn together! Again, welcome! We are going to have a wonderful year!

Sincerely,

Ms. Sherry A. Harris
