Ms. Lisa Crawford
Hello Everyone! My name is Lisa T.Crawford. What a wonderful opportunity I have here at Forest Lake to be a part of your child's education.
I officially joined Forest Lake in January 2017. I am excited to help your child learn. I am new to South Carolina, so I'm still trying to explore the state!! I grew up in northern New Jersey and after graduating from William Paterson College (now University), I moved to Florida. I have enjoyed teaching for twelve years and will be pursuing my Masters in Elementary Education.
In my free time I like to make cards and scrapbook, attempt knitting/crocheting, going to the movies, and reading (my interest now is suspense novels and medical mysteries). :)
I look forward to watching how much your child grows in their learning.
