Meet Ms. Lawrence, Our New Librarian

I love to learn which is why I have never left school! I have worked with 5th - 12th graders teaching library, journalism and English in Manassas. While I really enjoyed advising a student newspaper, in the library with teenagers is my favorite place to be! My oldest daughter is in 6th grade so I always have a teenager around. Everyone in my family is a teacher, but my identical twin sister is a school librarian just like me. We love to read books together and learn more about what we read.
