Mrs. Shadden shared, "I am truly honored to receive the Out of This World Teacher award! This recognition means so much to me because it reflects the joy and wonder we create in our classroom every day. Watching my young learners grow and explore the world around them is the greatest reward. Together, we’re building a foundation of curiosity and kindness that I hope
will last a lifetime!"
Shadden appeared on the KRZK Legends 1063 UpSide Morning Show with Josh and Them for her award presentation. Buchanan Elementary Principal Dr. April Hawkins was also in attendance. Shadden was presented with a plaque, a gift card, and a gift basket from Central Bank.
