Hello everyone!  My name is Andrea Shepard, and I am the 7th Grade Social Studies Teacher at Madison Accelerated Middle School.  I have been teaching in Madison for 35 years, so many of you already know me.

I have been married to Jim for more than 38 years.  We have three sons, Jim, Jr., Corey and Blake.  We also have two beautiful daughters-in-law, Angie and Lauren.  Ten years ago, we were blessed with our first grandchild, Matthew.  In May, we will welcome our second grandbaby-I can't wait! We are also dog lovers-we have 3!!

I love to read, play computer games and garden in my spare time.  My flowers were beautiful this year, and our vegetables were abundant! 

One of my greatest pleasures is to watch the Cubs!  Even though they haven't been doing so great lately, I will always be a fan!
