My name is Shannon Garner. I am the first grade teacher. This is my 1st year teaching this grade at our school. I taught in the Washoe County School District for 10 years before moving to LFS.   Emily Cutler is assisting us again this year. This is her fourth year at Little Flower School. We are having a lot of fun as we become respectful citizens, grow as readers, learn how to compute, and experiment with science and things in the world around us. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us at sgarner@littleflowerschoolnv.org.
