Mrs. McIlwain
My name is Adriane Mcilwain and I am thrilled to be back for my third year at Shafer. This will be my 8th year teaching and I love being a reading teacher! I love books and inspiring children to have the same love of reading as I do. I have 2 daughters named Harper and Emily. My love of reading was definitely passed down to them as they are both professed “Book Nerds.” My girls and I love to rollerblade, watch movies, go hiking when possible and spend as much time with friends and family now that we are back home in Texas. I’m looking forward to a great year at Shafer Elementary and I cannot wait to meet my new group of 2nd Graders!
