Welcome to Mrs. Townsend's Class
Hello! My name is Mrs. Sheryl Townsend and I am honored to be your child’s fourth grade teacher. This will be my fourth year teaching for the Plato family; however, it is my first year at Plato Academy Palm Harbor. I am very excited! I love teaching and all the exploring, learning, and fun we get to have!
Some fun facts about me is that I grew up near Toronto, Ontario. I moved to Florida in 10th grade and never looked back. I attended the University of South Florida where I earned my degree in Elementary Education. After teaching for several years in Polk County, I returned to school at Saint Leo University where I earned my masters in Educational Leadership. This is my fifteenth year as a classroom teacher. Learning and growing is very important!
Additionally, I am a wife and a mother of two wonderful middle school aged daughters that also will be attending Plato Academy Palm Harbor – Caitlin (12) and Amber (11) . I am excited to get to know everyone, and look forward to a great school year!!!

HOBBIES: Painting/Crafts
STORES: Target and Amazon
