Hey There!
Welcome to Lemon Drops Academy! I am so glad you are here. I have been in education for over twenty five years and have loved every day. I have always been passionate about education and getting to understand the uniqueness of my students. My grandfather, Bill Lemmon, was on the Board of Education in Virginia and made it his lifelong mission to ensure all students were able to unleash their academic potential. He served on the House of Delegates and dedicated hours to bettering the education system in the state of Virginia. His unconditional love and selfless determination served as my example and instilled a strong desire to continue his legacy.
