k-6 Art Teacher

Hello parents and students! I am so excited to be the art teacher for this upcoming year! I am new to the school and new to the area. I am originally from Effingham, Illinois. It is a small city in south-central Illinois, surrounded by cornfields. I went to college at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, which is a bit more scenic, but nothing compares to experiencing the mountains in this area! I'm grateful for the opportunity to be around awesome kids in an awesome area.

Some things I enjoy outside of teaching: painting, drawing, rock climbing, hiking with my dog, camping, and reading books. I can't wait to find out what each of your (child's) interests are! I am looking forward to getting to know everyone on an individual basis. I like planning lessons that highlight hobbies and interests of my students. It's my sincere hope that the students enjoy every moment in my classroom, are actively engaged, and take away a passion for art.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know me! If you need to contact me, please do so by email. You can expect a response within 24 hours during the school week: lmayfield@lewispalmer.org
