Shoutout to Ms. Lisa Williams from Lewes Elementary School in the Henlopen School District.

"Ms. Williams is an amazing teacher. Her even tempered demeanor makes her classroom one of the calmest classrooms I have seen. The student’s always seem to be engaged and are constantly learning. Our daughter loves going to school every day and always comes home smiling, telling us all about her day. We are very thankful for Ms. Williams!"
