About

Welcome to Room English Class! My name is Alex Lonardo and this is my 17th year teaching English at LHS. I have taught Literature & Composition I (9th grade English) every year since I started. I LOVE 9th grade! I also love LHS and the many different types of people who walk the halls every day. Ms. Shea is one of my absolute favorite humans in the world and I am so lucky that I get to work with her every day. Even if we are not in the physical building, Ms. Shea and I communicate throughout the day and work together to support you.

Seeing as how I am an English teacher, I love to read and cannot wait to share my library with you. One of my favorite parts of my job is being able to help students discover their new favorite books, even those students who think they hate reading. In addition to reading, I love to run (even though I am very slow) and cook with my kiddos.

I live in Maynard, which is a few towns west of Lex, with my husband, Tony, and our two sons, Parker (10) and Riley (9). You will hear about Parker & Riley a lot throughout the school year. I can't help it. I think they are amazing!

Above: This is me & Tony running on vacation last summer.

Left & Below: Parker is on the left in both pictures and Riley is on the right. It is ridiculously hard to make them look serious in any photograph!

You will also learn to tolerate my adoration for my plants. Specifically, I am obsessed with my orchids. The orchids live in our classroom all year long and they bring me much peace and serenity. At the moment, only one of the four is in full bloom. Updates forthcoming. I apologize in advance if I bore you with orchid chatter.

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO KNOW YOU!
