My name is Sharon "DeeDee" Livesay and I am the English Learner teacher at Banneker. This is my 29th year of teaching and I am thrilled to be in my 5th year at Banneker. Banneker is a special place...I absolutely love my job!❤️

I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a certification in Elementary Education from Bridgewater College. I hold a Master’s Degree in Reading/Reading Specialist from Shenandoah University along with an endorsement in Educational Leadership/Administration from James Madison University. Additionally, I hold an endorsement in English as a Second Language.

My husband and I live in Frederick County, Virginia, with our two children Michael and Emma. In our spare time, you will find us at the baseball/softball fields or basketball courts watching our children play.

I am super-excited about this school year and look forward to working with you!
