Lisa Crossland

lcrossla@psdschools.orgA Colorado Native, and longtime Lesher Viking, Genius Week is one of the highlights of Ms. Crossland’s year. She enjoys family, friends, a good meal, reading, and tackling a project. She is honored to get to work with her clever, creative colleagues who offer classes so interesting, she would have a hard time picking which ones to take! She looks forward to meeting all of the Genius attendees and is at your service if she can be of help.

Natasha Wilson

natashaw@psdschools.org While this is my third year as a Viking, this will be my 12th year as a teacher. I have taught Elementary, Middle, and High School over the last 12 years. Math is my jam!! I love to see when my students get it and develop math confidence. When I am not teaching math, you can find me helping with the school culture through decorating and student support. When I am not at school, you will find me at Target or outdoors with my family. My small crew loves to go on hikes, camp, or be at the lake with our two pups. I like to dabble in photography a bit too. Being willing to learn and try, is the key to success. Hope to see you!!

Josh Swann

jswann@psdschools.orgMr. Swann has been teaching for over 23 with the last 21 being here in PSD. He has taught elementary and middle school math, science, English, and social studies to name a few. Prior to entering the classroom Mr. Swann spent time teaching outdoor and environmental education around the country in places like Texas, New England and Alaska. When not teaching you will likely find Mr. Swann on the river rafting, fishing, kayaking and camping, mountain biking, snowboarding, hanging with friends and family or reading a good book.

Just a few things to know about me is that I have been a teacher going on 20 years, and I absolutely love teaching. My other involvements in education have included: Middle School teacher for 14 years, Middle School Baseball Head Coach, and a Mathematics Interventionist for 1st-8th graders. My other interests outside of education are: baseball, competitive cornhole, hiking, hunting, fishing, and backcountry camping. I have 3 children, Hunter who is 17 and graduating soon, twins Abigail and Jake who are both 16 and are students in PSD. I have 2 college degrees a Bachelor’s degree in Law and Justice and a Master’s degree in education. I am currently still working on my Doctorate degree in Education. I also served in the active-duty Army as an Infantryman from 1992-1995 serving in S. Korea and Ft. Campbell, KY. home of the 101st Airborne Division. I look forward to being a teacher of the “Genius Week” at Lesher Middle school and it should be a fun and exciting week of mock trials.

Louisann Levy

llevy@psdschools.orgHi! I'm Louisann (Lu-zán). I've been a teacher for over 30 years and enjoy creating lessons where students are active and their curiosity is kindled. I have 2 daughters; now amazing young adults. We've played strategy games for our entire lives and have noticeably benefitted from doing so. I like to sing and play my ukulele or marimba. Pickleball is a pastime.For the last 10 years, I've been working with PSD's Outreach Dept. as a Homebound teacher. I love it! Before that, I was an elementary teacher, a Montessori teacher, a parenting skills educator, and a professional theatrical lighting designer. Fun fact: I got struck by lightning while working a dance performance.
