FEATURED STAFF MEMBER OF THE WEEK--5 QUICK FACTS
SHELBI DILLON-MATH
1. I have been married to my awesome husband, Dustin (a 95 FHN grad!), for 12 years.
2. We have 2 boys; DJ is 11 and Cole is 8. They both wrestle here at North for our little league program. They are both tough as nails and are determined to have their names on the wall in the wrestling room someday just like their dad!
3. If you know me, you know I run. I run a lot. My favorite thing ever to do is sign up for, train, and run marathons. (I've heard I might be slightly crazy)
4. Friday nights, you can find me at the bowling alley. Dustin and I have been bowling together for about 10 years on a league at Harvester lanes. One year, I even won the ladies highest average!
5. My favorite sport to watch is football, and I love the Pittsburgh Steelers!!!
