Our Seventh graders were acting like a bunch of animals during science class so Mrs. Schlanz took them outside! Well… they sort of were acting like animals. It was all part of their life science lesson on how in the wild many animals live in packs and must work together to survive. Mrs. Schlanz and the class took advantage of the lesson and went outside to do team building exercises to illustrate the lesson more effectively

Mrs. Lisa Schlanz
I live in Shadyside, Ohio with my husband, Mike, and two children, Abbey and Julie. I enjoy coaching volleyball.
The 2019 – 2020 school year is my twenty-sixth year of teaching. I taught at St. Adalbert in Dillonvale, Ohio for five years, then to St. Joseph Central Grade School in Bridgeport, Ohio for twelve years. Prior to being at OLP, I taught grades three through eighth.
Being a part of the education of Catholic schools has been a wonderful experience for me. I just love being a part of Our Lady of Peace.
