Leah Lyons
I have been teaching for over 25 years in middle school grades 6, 7 and 8th grades. I love anything to do with arts and crafts but especially doodling (drawing). Many of my students over the years know I love the cartoon character Garfield the cat which they see decorating my classroom. In my spare time I draw, sew heart pillows for heart patients at our local hospital, volunteer for the American Cancer Society, I am a co-captain of the Pioneers for Hope Team, Relay for Life and love to walk. Enough about me! Look at my students' art they are fantastic artists!!!
