She always keeps a positive attitude when helping others." She is "so caring and always has our students' best interest at heart. She is so devoted to showing love and support here at Foster Park." Mrs. Shelby is "supportive of others and always willing to lend a hand to those around her! She is a great role model for ALL our students. She is generous and selfless. She is irreplaceable!
