My name is Lisa Thompson, and I am so glad your student is in my class! This year will be my third year teaching here at Central, but my 24^nd year as a teacher (most of which has been in second grade).

My husband Wally and I live here in Effingham, which incidentally is where I was born and raised. I have two grown stepsons and a 15, 17, and 19 year old at home. I also have a 5-year-old granddaughter, a 2-year old grandson, and a newborn grandson whom I adore!

I love crafting on my Cricut (making t-shirts & signs), gardening, watching the grandkids, and spending time with my family. Some of my favorites are Pecan Cluster Blizzards, Diet Mountain Dew, and Mexican food. Thank you for all of the dedication, understanding, and grace that I know this year is going to require!
