    About Our First Grade Teachers

    Ms Shannon Carneal

    Hi! I'm Ms. Carneal. This year will be my 6th year teaching at the Creek. I have taught 3rd grade and 1st grade at GSCES. I attended MCPS schools (Rocky Hill MS and Clarksburg HS) before attending Towson University where I graduated with my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. I earned my Master's Degree in Mathematics K-6 grades through Walden University. When I am not at school I am playing with my pets, at a sports event (most likely baseball), or spending time with my family & friends. I am excited for a great year in 1st grade!

    Ms. Julee Lipsman

    I have had the privilege of teaching, learning, and growing at “the Creek'' since January 2007. This year I am excited to be a member of the first grade team. When not working I enjoy being outdoors, cycling with my husband, walking with my dog Jack, running, hiking, reading, paddle-boarding, and spending time with my grown children.
