My name is Melissa Kmetz and I'm a third grade teacher at Lakeview Elementary School. I graduated from Campbell Memorial High School in 1999 and obtained a full academic scholarship to Youngstown State University. I graduated in May 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education. In 2007, I obtained a Master of Science in Education with a specialty in Reading from Youngstown State University.
I began my teaching career in the Salem City School district where I taught kindergarten for one year and first grade for two years. I then accepted a teaching position here in Lakeview in the fall of 2006 and have been here ever since! This is my 16th year teaching third grade and my 18th year teaching overall.
I strive to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment for all students while sparking their interest and enthusiasm in learning. It is my goal to teach all students how to learn not just what to learn. This year though, the most important lessons learned in our classroom won't always be academic ones. It is incredibly important to me that students embrace kindness and compassion and strive to make the world a better place. I want them to learn they are never too young to make a difference in the lives of others. As Aristotle once said, "Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."

Hello! My name is Mrs. Emily Liplin. I began my teaching career here at Lakeview Elementary in 2006 in first grade.The following year I taught kindergarten. During that time I earned a Masters in Reading from Kent State University. The next five years I taught eighth grade reading. I was then welcomed back to the elementary to teach first grade. Finally, I was moved to teach third grade.
I am married with two wonderful and energetic children, Hank and Halle. We have three cats and one dog. Our whole family enjoys watching the Browns, Cavs, and Indians; as well as being outdoors.
I’m very excited to be meeting and teaching your child this year. We're going to have an awesome year!

I am excited to be part of the 3rd Grade Team at Lakeview Elementary! I hold a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education (PreK-3) from Kent State University and a Master of Science in Education with a specialty in Reading from Youngstown State University. In addition, I have earned a Reading Endorsement (K-12).
I began my teaching journey at Children’s Rainbow Preschool and then taught second grade in Youngstown City Schools. At Lakeview, I have had the privilege of teaching Title I Reading and Math, as well as first grade, and I am thrilled to continue growing with my students in third grade.
I live in Howland with my husband and son. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy reading, papercrafting—especially cardmaking—music, painting, spending time outdoors, and exploring new technology. I feel truly blessed to be part of the Lakeview community and am looking forward to an amazing school year!
