LAMS Native Hawk Club
A Warm Welcome to Our New Native Hawk Sponsor!!
Hi! I’m Lisa Fisher, a Visual Arts teacher, artist, and lifelong creative with more than 25 years of teaching experience. I love helping students discover their creativity, build confidence, and find their own artistic voice. Art is a huge part of who I am. Clay grounds me, watercolor frees me, and I find beauty in the messy, colorful moments of life. Outside the classroom, I’m a proud mom of two daughters and love hiking, trail running, hot springs, thrift shops, great books, cozy coffee shops, and the beauty of New Mexico. I believe creativity, curiosity, connection, and a little bit of mess make life more interesting and I bring that spirit into my classroom every day.

Our Native American club is a great chance for our Native students to hang out and connect with each other while we also play card games, listen to much, and basically just chill and develop community. The club is open to all students but we really want focus on creating a positive and supportive space for Indigenous students, so please encourage your students to attend. Even if they just come during luch period and don't stay for recess period, its a great change to connect.
