  Hello! I’m Janice Mattheis, the founder and president of LIRA Learning. I’ve been a public school educator for over 15 years and a district administrator for the last eight. LIRA came about from my work overseeing the modernization of the school libraries in my last district. I love children’s literature and writing curriculum. I live in Lake Barrington, Illinois, northwest of Chicago. I have two grown children (one is a teacher), a cat, and a dog. Currently, I’m reading tons of children’s picture books. I just read I Am You: A Book about Ubuntu, by Refiloe Moahloli and I highly recommend this book for your library. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or comments. You can also post them in the Feedback Forum.

  Hello! I’m Athena Lesiotis, I am in a 5th grade co-teaching classroom in D100. I am also Janice’s daughter. This is my second year teaching and I love it so far! I am excited to meet other teachers and grow my professional network.
