Hi, my name is Sheila Hughes. I have been teaching here at PC Elem. for 29 years now. I have had a variety of positions, including 6th grade, Learning Lab, and 5th grade. Originally I am from North Dakota, near Devils Lake. College took me to Grand Forks (UND), after which I then taught for 4 years in East Grand Forks. I have three wonderful daughters, 28, 25, and 22. We had the joys and fun of our youngest daughter graduating from the Univ. of St. Thomas in May and the oldest daughter getting married in June. They kept me very busy throughout HS with sports, arts, social and academic events and it took me a bit to adjust to not being on the run 24/7! Now my time is spent with gardening, walking, biking, crafts, sewing, coffee with friends, my dog Sophie, traveling, and family. But school is always like family, so I don't hit the "dull moments" button very often! I enjoy working with my 5th graders, they always amaze me with some of their thoughts and creative ideas. I also am the "Boxtops for Education" coordinator, work with 5-6th grade Student Council, co-direct the 5-6th grade Spring Musical, and I coach Jr. High Volleyball.
