LVES Mission and Vision
Knowing our New Crew - Mrs. Chantay Crawley
Hello Pony Family! I am excited to be a part of Lewisville Elementary this year as part of the 1st grade team. I am a native of Michigan where I was born and raised and spent the majority of my life. My family and I relocated to Texas in the summer of 2016. I am the proud mom of 4 amazing children, two sons Brandon and Christopher, and two girls Crishawn and Angel.
In November I will be celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary with my husband Chris, who is a retired firefighter. I graduated from Eastern Michigan University. I also attended the University of Phoenix where I obtained my Masters. This is my 12th year in education and for the past two years prior to coming here, I taught 2nd grade in Irving at a charter school. I live in the city of Lewisville and my son graduated from Hebron High School. My favorite color is red, I enjoy old school hip hop, reading, and learning new things.
