Hi! My name is Shannon Blair, and I'm very happy to be part of Kindergarten. Once you know me, you'll know I love all things fandom...Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel, DC, and anime.

Yes, I love to create cosplay and am a creative, artistic person, and love to read!

I have two children, a loving husband, and a houseful of pets. My biggest strength is I honestly love children and think that they are the best. Kid's hugs are absolutely the best part of my day.  

Bonjour!

My name is Nadine Bwanga, and I am very excited to be a part of the Trip family. I love children and I am passionate working with them. My career as an educator started at the Child Care Center where I worked with young children from infants to Pre-K for 6 years, and now I love being a part of Kindergarten team here at Trip. I graduated from Gwinnett Technical College with a degree in Early Childhood Development. 

My husband and I live in Grayson with our four wonderful children: Love, Peace, Phoebe and Wisdom. We love to serve in our local Church and traveling around the world. I look forward to a great year!!!

Hello Trip Families! I am Dominique Gachelin and I live in Loganville with my family. I am a wife and a mother of 3 (2 boys and 1 girl).
We love going on vacation as a family, we love cooking and enjoy game nights, especially when the boys are all there since my cadet is in the Army.

I have a degree in Child Care Education and specialized in Children Psychology. Watching your kids grow is my satisfaction.

Can't wait to have your child this year!!!

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I attended Adelphi University and graduated from Brooklyn College with my master’s in Early Childhood. I have been teaching since 2002.  I have taught Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade 

In 2006, I moved to Gwinnett County from Brooklyn.  I have two sons who are a part of the Grayson Cluster schools.  Kindergarten is the best year. I’m excited to join Trip’s Kindergarten team and to get our year started. 

I have been teaching since 2005 and have taught all grade levels in elementary except second grade. I really love teaching kids. It’s my passion in life! My greatest joy is when I help a child become a life-long learner.

I attended Georgia Southern University for my bachelors in Early Child Education. I attended Grand Canyon University for my masters in Reading Curriculum and Instruction and for my specialist in Leadership: Curriculum and Instruction.

My husband and I have four wonderful and independent daughters. We all love to travel and vacation. We've visited all 50 U.S. states and 13 countries so far with plans to go aboard soon. New experiences and seeing different cultures are important to my family and me.

My name is Dani Mitchell and I love spending my days teaching and having fun in Kindergarten. I graduated from Georgia Southern University with a Dual Bachelors' degree both in General Education along with Special Education. I have an amazing dog named Ollie who I spend most of my time away from school with. I love going out to eat with friends, shopping at Target, and spending time with my family.

I LOVE teaching at Trip Elementary and was proud to earn the title of Teacher of the Year for the 2022-2023 school year. I have a love for learning and sharing that passion with my students is so rewarding. It is my goal to make school a place where students are excited to come and be a part of a class family where they have the chance to learn and grow. 

While not at school, I enjoy spending my time working out, reading, traveling, and spending time with my friends and family...I love the Grayson/Gwinnett community dearly so may see you out and about in the area. I’m looking forward to this school year!
