Hello! My name is Lisa Spence and I am thrilled to be teaching fifth grade at Sweeny Elementary! I am a Kansas City native and a recent graduate of Evangel University in Springfield. My bachelor's degree is in Elementary Education (1-6) and I am certified to teach Speech/Theatre (9-12) as well. This will be my first year of teaching in a traditional classroom setting, although I taught Kindergarten last year in a pull-out setting and loved it! In my free time, my husband and I like to read in my hammock, visit coffee shops, and perform in musical theatre productions.
