Welcome to 2H!  My name is Andraya Hennessy and I am so excited to have your child in my class this year!  I grew up in Mechanicsburg and am a proud graduate of MASD.  I am especially proud to be teaching at Shepherdstown because I went here for my elementary schooling just like your child! I received my Bachelor's degree from Bloomsburg University with dual certification in Early Childhood and Special Education.  I also received my Master's degree in Literacy with a Reading Specialist certificate at Penn State.  I enjoy spending my summers with my family and friends, creating with my Cricut, reading new books, and going to the beach!  I also enjoy spending time with my dogs Baxter and Nellie.  They are beabulls (beagle/bulldog) and are super friendly and playful.  

Being a Mechanicsburg graduate, I hope to instill a love for learning in your child, just as the district has done for me! Please feel free to contact me by email at [email protected] with any questions or concerns. Although I will not be answering my emails during the school day, I will try my best to respond in a timely manner before or after school. School/family partnerships are vital to your child's academic success. I look forward to working with you and your second grader, knowing that by working together we will have a successful and rewarding school year!
