Kerri-Anne Morrison Joins the Staff at Lakeside School

North Wales, PA (October 17, 2016) – Kerri-Anne Morrison, from Bensalem, PA, has joined Lakeside as a Substitute Instructor for Lakeside School located in North Wales, PA.

“Kerri-Anne has confidence and command of the classroom,” says Peter Dillard, program director of Lakeside School. “She doesn’t label students as “good or bad” but sees them as people with life experiences.”

Morrison earned her bachelor of arts in Secondary Education with an English minor from Cairn University, Langhorne, PA.

“I love the model of education that Lakeside School provides,” says Morrison. “During my student teaching experience, while in college, I came across many students who would have benefited from a smaller setting with more one-on-one attention.”

During her spare time Kerri-Anne enjoys cardio kick boxing and is excited that students at Lakeside School will be able to participate in this activity during recreational time.

“I literally have just begun teaching at Lakeside School,” says Morrison “and I am looking forward to building genuine relationships with students and staff.”
