Hello! My name is Lydia Withrow, and this is my sixth year teaching eighth grade at Horace Mann Middle School. I graduated from WVSU in 2011 with a degree in Education and have been teaching for seven years. Teaching became a second career for me. After having my own children, you could say it became a calling. I enjoy reading, writing, and spending time with my family.
