About Mrs. Lack:

This year marks my 8th year of teaching and my fifth year at Fairlands. I taught 1st and 2nd grade in Pittsburg, and am thrilled to be teaching in Pleasanton, which is where I grew up. I graduated from Sac State in 2008, and earned my credential from San Jose State in 2010. As a teacher, I am passionate about hands-on learning experiences, group projects, and making learning fun! Being a part of the school community as a whole is huge to me. I enjoy helping with clubs, leading dance groups, and facilitating athletic and nutrition programs. Outside of school, my life consists of spending time with my husband Ben, baby Elijah, and French Bulldog Jaxon. I also love skiing, hiking, eating as much chocolate as I can, and dancing. I am beyond excited be teaming up with Mrs. Eisenbies and am confident our class will be life-changing!

I spend most of my time outside of school, volunteering in my kids’ school and driving them to their activities. Sophia is a competition dancer and Nathan plays soccer and baseball. I also enjoy going to movies with my husband Steve, reading and taking walks around our neighborhood with our beagle, Jack. Teaching kids and making connections with my students brings me great joy and I can’t wait for all the amazing experiences we are going to have together this year.
