JjMy name is Michelle Sharkey.
I am a 2nd grade teacher at Winner Elementary School. I also coach the Winner Elementary Reading Olympics and Brain Brawl teams. In addition to teaching, I am also a member of the School Improvement Team.

I have also taught lower grades (K-3) at Hamill and Millboro Rural Schools, and third grade at Winner Elementary.

Home and FamilyAlthough Winner is home, Ronnie and I also ranch south of Mission. Ronnie raises cattle and also does custom farming and haying. We have one girl and one boy, a cat named Slim, a dog named Lola, and a dog named Spud!
I call Mitchell (SD) "my hometown", as I am a graduate of MHS. Mitchell is home to the Corn Palace and the mighty Kernels (yes, the mascot is corn!). I was born in Conrad, Montana. My family also lived in Harlowton (MT) and Havre (MT) before moving to Nancy, Kentucky. After four years in Kentucky, my family returned to the Midwest with moves to Langford (SD), Webster (SD), and eventually Mitchell. |
I am very close to my family. Two of my sisters are also in the education field. Jennifer is a 1st grade teacher at Sanborn Central. Monica teaches Kindergarten in Winner. My mom, Nancy, is a florist. She and my step-dad, Eddie, live on a dairy farm in Northeastern South Dakota. My brother-in-law, Wes, my niece, Rhiannon, and my nephew, Raydon, are also a huge part of my family.
Free Time and FavoritesWhen I'm not busy with school or spending time with my family, I enjoy crafting, scrapbooking, reading, and traveling. I love to walk and run. I also spend a lot of time helping Ronnie with haying and the cattle.
I am a HUGE UK Wildcats fan!! One day I hope to attend a University of Kentucky Wildcat basketball game!! I love a variety of music and movies. My other favorites include the color yellow, pizza, Peach Propel, and Caramel Iced Coffee!! |
