Paige Is Our Crusader Of The Week!
Meet Crusader of the Week Paige Harris. She is a 6th Grade student and started going to school at Shannon Forest in the 1st Grade. One word Paige uses to describe her Shannon Experience is...fun! She enjoys participating in choir, student council and her favorite class is Mr. Burnette's Bible class. "He's very nice," says Paige. "He really cares for us and he prays for us." In her spare time, Paige likes to play with her pets - a dog and two guinea pigs. She also loves to read. Check back next week to meet another student from Shannon Forest Christian School.
