About Our First Grade Teachers
Ms. Shannon Carneal
Hi! I'm Ms. Carneal. This year will be my 9th year teaching at the Creek. I have taught 3rd grade and 1st grade at GSCES. Outside of school, I enjoy playing with my dogs, attending sporting events (most likely baseball), or spending time with my family & friends. I am excited for another great year in 1st grade!
Ms. Ellen James
Hi! I'm Mrs. James and this is my 14th year teaching! I've been all over the building, and I'm thrilled to be back in the classroom in 1st grade this year. In my time outside of school, I love to get a fresh bouquet from the farmer's market, grab an afternoon iced coffee, and walk the C&O Canal with my family. I love to be outside and explore new places. I hope to learn and grow with my students this year, and I'm looking forward to all our new adventures!
Ms. Leslie Cruz
Hi Bullfrogs! I am so excited to teach 1st grade again this year! This will be my 4th year at the Creek. I have previously taught 2nd grade. I graduated from Towson University and live in Bowie with my husband. During my free time I enjoy baking/cooking, watching movies and spending time with family/friends. I look forward to an amazing year together!
Ms. Meghan White
Hi Bullfrogs! My name is Mrs. White, and I am extremely excited to be your child’s teacher! This will be my first year teaching 1st grade and before that I taught 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade. I graduated from Shippensburg University with a BS in Elementary Education and received my Masters in Special Education from Towson University. In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring! I look forward to helping your child learn, grow, and be the best they can be.
