All About Me!

I am Mrs. Marchant and this is going to be my fourth year at Shades Mountain Elementary. I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Early Childhood Education from University of Alabama in Birmingham. Since receiving my degree, I have worked in preschool/private education and business. Within a few years, I returned to public education with Hoover City Schools. I have since earned a Master’s of Education Degree and I am a National Board Certified Teacher. I have spent the majority of my teaching career in third grade but most recently served as an Instructional Technology Coach and Title I teacher taking me to several different locations within Hoover City Schools.

My husband is Kevin and we have a 17 year old son named Bowen. In my spare time, I enjoy being with family and friends. I spend much of my down time being an electronic geek learning new things. I also enjoy a variety of music, traveling whenever possible and of course, reading.

I believe in all of my students and want to help each one achieve their individual greatest potential.

"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth." Quote by [|William W. Purkey]

By learning you will teach, by teaching you will learn. Latin Proverb

CONTACT:

I will be glad to meet with you before or after school. Occassionally, I can make arrangements during students' PE time/planning time. The best way to reach me is by email cmarchant@hoover.k12.al.us If it is during the school day, and the information regards a transportation change or something I need to be aware of immediately, call the main school number, give them details and they will share the information with me. Please keep in mind, I am with students all day with the exception of approximately 30 minutes when students are in PE everyday.
