Starcast Submission Request
Michele "Shelly" Meiers- Music Teacher
If you were to write a book about yourself, what would you name it?
Organized Chaos, Sort Of
Favorite Memory of a recent school experience:
It's been a long time coming, but honestly, I think my favorite memory at WHS was starting the chorus last year. I've been wanting to have an ensemble like this for a very long time. The WHS Chorus makes my heart happy!
Fondest Memory of your own elementary experience:
My fondest memory of elementary school was being selected to sing a solo in the musical "Down By the Creek Bank". It was one of those moments that you look back on and think, "God had a plan". I think that solo started me on my life's journey.
Words That Describe Me:
Imaginative Competitive Devoted
Bucket List:
Skydiving
What is your hidden talent?
I make pretty good cheesecakes
What advice would you give to someone just starting off their career in education?
Don't give up! This career takes a lot of energy and determination. Learning from others is a way to make this journey easier.
What is the last joke that you recall:What's big and gray and doesn't matter? An irrelephant (I know it is BAD)
Best Concert Experience:
Seeing "Sweeney Todd" at the Lyric Opera
