Hi there Lakeside Farm Families! I am so thrilled to be working with our students for another, although interesting, year! I started at the Farms in February 2020 and then was interrupted by COVID-19. What a whirlwind year of teaching! I am from East County, born and raised. I received my BA in Liberal Studies from SDSU in 2017. The next day after my SDSU graduation, I began my graduate program at Point Loma Nazarene University. I graduated with both my Mild/Mod. Special Education credential and a Multiple Subject credential. I also earned my Master’s degree in Special Education with an emphasis in Autism and Emotional Disturbances. In my spare time, I am a movie buff and love spending time with my family (including my 10-year-old “chonky” Corgi mix!)

Jessica Ehlers - 5th Grade Teacher
Our classroom was originally constructed in 1961 as Fallout Shelter that was big enough to shelter the entire community of Lakeside. The shelter was equipped with a water purifier, generator, and provisions. As the world changed, our shelter was remodeled and turned into classrooms. Today, we have modern amenities and a true community of 5th graders that enjoy the uniqueness of their sub-terranian classroom!

Cathy Fischer - 3rd Grade Teacher
Welcome!
This will be my 25th year teaching for Lakeside Union School District. I have taught third, fourth, and fifth grade and third grade is my favorite! In third grade we learn so many new things; multiplication, cursive, writing multiple paragraph essays, learning about California's history, our science topics include learning about animals, bridges, and weather.
In my free time and during school holidays, I love to spend time traveling. I've been to Italy, France, England, Ireland, and over thirty states! When on breaks from school, I love to read books; detective mysteries are my current favorites, photography and art are also hobbies I dabble in and when I have time, I also try to squeeze in creating scrapbooks of my trips.

Tina Hober - 1st Grade Teacher
One could say I am a native of Lakeside. After attending the LUSD school system and graduating from El Capitan, I ventured to UCSB. Eventually, I found my way back down to San Diego and Graduated from UCSD and continued on with their teacher education program.
I was fortunate enough to get my first teaching job at Tierra del Sol Middle School working as a Special Education teacher. While at TdS, I completed my Masters of Education in Special Education at SDSU. Since then, I have taught a variety of grade levels and became a Nationally Board Certified Teacher.
I have been blessed with 2 daughters and a wonderful husband. My family enjoys spending time together volunteering, camping and traveling.
Be it a friend from my youth, a former student, or someone new, please come by and say hello!
Looking forward to a fantastic year!
