“What drew me to work at Lakeside school was the people- both students and staff,” says Lewis. “The students can be challenging but I love that I can be the calm in their storm. As for the staff, they are amazing. I was a tiny bit nervous about switching to a new campus and starting over in a new place...however, it has been an easy transition. The comradery among the staff is great.”
