Our Librarian
Please take a moment to learn about our fantastic school librarian… Mrs. Lisa Everitt leveritt@lwsd.org 425.823.4350
	Hi! Can you tell us about yourself? I was born at Swedish Hospital in Seattle and my parents still live in the house where I grew up in North Seattle. I have an older brother and younger sister. Mr. Everitt (Bob) and I were married in 1978 and he works at the Washington Dept of Fish and Wildlife. We have 2 sons: Trevor lives in Edmonds and works in the world of finance and stocks as a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley. Our younger son, Keaton, was drafted in 2005 by the New York Yankees and is a pitcher in their minor league system. All 4 of us are graduates of the University of Washington, as well as my dad, brother, sister, and 2 nephews. My boys went to Juanita and Sandburg Elementary, Finn Hill Jr. High and Juanita High. We have one cat named Cry Baby and a pond full of goldfish. When did you first decide to become a school librarian? From the time I was in 2^nd grade I knew I wanted to someday be a teacher. I love working with children and had a special interest in helping children be better readers and excited about books. So, when I went to
graduate school to get my teaching certification I earned a Library and Media endorsement at the same time thinking that someday I would like to teach in a library. How long have you been at Thoreau? I left Keller Elementary School where I was a 1^st and 2^nd Grade teacher and came to Thoreau in the fall of 2003. I have really enjoyed the challenge of a new job, new school, and new learning community. This is a wonderful school! What’s something interesting about you that no one would guess? Would you guess that I can blast off a 2 finger whistle that can be heard for miles around? It has come in handy at all the sporting events we have been to over the years. Would you guess that one summer I was a mother to baby harbor seal? His name was Sonny. Anything else interesting you want to share? I am crazy about books and reading, so next time you read a good book, be sure to come and tell me about it!
