Our Lady of Peace School

6th Grade
Candice Lewis

Welcome to the Sixth grade at Our Lady of Peace.  I hope that your summer was filled with many new adventures and special memories. I am looking forward to working with you this school year.  This will be an extremely busy year with much to learn. You will get to experience some very extraordinary things such as taking the lead and starring in the Christmas play to blasting off to Mars in search of water and other signs of life. Most importantly, you will be growing into exceptional young ladies and gentlemen.

I graduated from IUP with degrees in Environmental Planning and Elementary Education and the 2020-2021 school year will be my eighth year teaching in the Wheeling-Charleston Diocese. I live in Wheeling with my husband and our three daughters, Caitlin, Madison, and Reagan.  We also have three crazy dogs and one very elusive cat.
