 My Name is Lisa Grimes. I am teaching Reading and Language Arts at CTMS this year. I joined the staff at CTMS this year because I desired to return to middle school! I started teaching middle school in 1989 and taught for a few years before I decided to stay home with my children. I have three. After staying home for 13 years, I returned to teaching as a 5th grade teacher-all subjects. I worked for 5 years in this capacity. I am very excited to be returning to my roots as a middle school teacher and at the best middle school in the district. My two older boys were once wolves and now my youngest starts his middle school journey as a wolf. I love 6th grade students because they are so full of life. They are busy and excited about their world. I feel like I know these kids very well. As a former 5th grade teacher, I know right where they left off at the end of elementary. I am ready to help them begin their year as 6th graders. I attended Texas Tech for my undergraduate degree in Biology and English. I did graduate work in education at TCU. Both schools are dear to my heart. I live in Colleyville with my husband, Clayton, our three boys: Collin, Jonah, and Holden, and our three dogs: Duffy, Otis, and Dirk. My oldest son, Collin, attends Fort Worth Christian School and plays acoustic guitar. My second son, Jonah, goes to Grapevine High School, is an Eagle Scout candidate and plays electric guitar. My youngest son, Holden, is a sixth grader at Cross Timbers. He plays baseball and drums. In my spare time, I enjoy teaching group fitness aerobics, cycle, and barbell strength classes at LifeTimeFitness. I also love to read, scrapbook, travel, and watch the Mavs.

I am really just a popsickle mom at heart. Technology doesn't come naturally for me...but here I am-giving it a go!
