Take 5 With...Sheri Shubbe


Take 5 With...Sheri Shubbe
Job Title: Media Specialist
School:  PES, PIC and CS (I am lucky to work in all 3 buildings!)

1) What was the best present you ever received when you were a kid? 
A Monopoly game.

2) What is your favorite season and what do you like about it? 
I love summer because of the warmth and unstructured days. Also, my kids are home from college, and I love having the whole family home.

3) If you had to pick one... would you sing or dance in public? 
Sing!

4) What is your favorite band/singer? 
My daughter is a music major in college, so my favorite bands are the ones she's in! I also love listening to Celtic Woman.

5) Something memorable a student once said to you? 
One time I was wearing a shirt my sister had given me for my birthday, and an 8th grader told me, "Mrs. Schubbe, that shirt looks too young for you!"  Another day, a boy came in first thing in the morning, and said, "I'm so happy today because my feet feel so good in my new socks!" That cracked me up! :)
