Lewis said she loves teaching.“Ilove being able to share my passion for reading and writing and to see my kids connect with what I’m showing them or what story we’re reading,” Lewis said. Her example was a Ray Bradbury book called “All Summer in a Day.” “We finished the story and they were all mind blown and they weren’t saying anything,” Lewis recalled. “Then I looked out and watched it click with all of them. They started saying, ‘Oh, I get it’ and ‘Oh, that’s really cool.’ That is the best.” Lewis also helps coach Corvallis High School Track and Field and said she enjoyed teaching in Glasgow for a year before returning to the Bitterroot Valley.
