Hi!  My name is Sherry Sharp, and I am privileged to be the music teacher at Prairieland Elementary School.  Prairieland opened in the fall of 1999, and I am proud to say that I was one of the original staff that opened this amazing school!

Both of my parents were teachers: my mom taught first grade, my dad was a junior high math teacher.  My youngest daughter graduates in the spring of 2013 with her degree in K-12 physical education.  She will be a third generation teacher . . . I guess it is in our blood!

As a music teacher my greatest desire is for my students to fall in love with music.  Once I have them hooked, then my hope is that they will be lifelong participants, whether they play an instrument, sing in a choir, dance or simply sing in the shower.  One of my favorite quotes is: “Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”  I would like for this to be my gift to your children.
