Hi!  My name is Lisa Depew and I am so excited to be joining the fourth grade team at Tolbert!  I love our curriculum and can't wait to dive into it with your children this year!  I have been teaching for nearly 20 years, primarily at the fourth grade level.  Originally from Massachusetts, I earned my undergraduate degrees in English and Elementary Education.  In 2003, I completed my Masters degree in Educational Transformation from George Mason University.  I live in Loudoun with my husband, 3 kids, and a parakeet. In my spare time, you can find me cheering on the sidelines for my kids' baseball, golf, cross country, and swim teams.  I also love to read, cook, spend time outdoors, and have fun with my family and friends.  I look forward to welcoming you and your child to our classroom for what promises to be an unforgettable year!
