My name is Lisa Parins and I teach full day PreK at Obama Elementary.  I have 10 years of experience teaching both PreK and kindergarten. I have been working at Obama Elementary for five years. I graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato with a degree in Elementary and Preprimary Education. I truly enjoy teaching young children! PreK is where my heart is!

 I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love to go on walks with our cockapoo Klea, do projects around the house, and go shopping! One of my favorite places to go is the zoo with my husband Nick, and my sons Jack (4) and Brooks (1)!

 I am so excited to be teaching Prek at Obama Elementary-“We are the best"!  My hopes and dreams for my scholars in PreK is that they feel a sense of belonging and feel loved when they are at school and in my classroom.  My hope is that I create a positive and exciting learning environment that sets the tone for their career as scholars.

Please feel free to contact me at any time.  I can be reached at lisa.parins@spps.org or 651.744.7885.  I also have a classroom app. Remind 101, please let me know if you are interested in joining!  I look forward to hearing from you!  Thank you for allowing me to teach your child.
