Vanessa Shepperd - 3rd Grade Teacher
Howdy Ropers!
I'm thrilled to be starting my 16th year in education, and my 8th year at the Ranch! Over the years, I’ve had the joy of teaching kindergarten, 3rd, and 4th grades, as well as serving as a curriculum and instruction coach. I’m excited to bring that experience into an amazing year in 3rd grade!
Outside the classroom, I stay busy doing what I love... coaching cheerleading, going to live concerts, thrifting for hidden gems, and spending quality time with my favorite people. My husband of 15 years, Scott, and I have three kids: Marlee (11), Tripp (8), and Ella (4). They are truly the loves of my life.
I believe life is too short to be anything less than extra, and I’m looking forward to giving every Roper an EXTRA special year filled with learning.
Let’s make it a year to remember! Ropers Learn, Ropers Lead. Woo Woo!
