Mrs. Nikki Lasher

Hello!
My name is Nikki Lasher. I am so excited to start another school year at JPII! While attending college at Indiana University - Bloomington I developed a love for education and a passion for teaching. My classroom is my second home, and I take great pride in the amount of time and energy I put into making it a comfortable and safe place for children to learn. I believe that developing a love for school develops a lifelong love for learning.
 
I currently live in Charlestown with my husband, Brent, our two children, Ellie and Cooper, and our two cats. I enjoy being outside, collecting antiques, traveling to National Parks, landscaping, and swimming in the pool! 
 
As I begin my fifth year of teaching Social Studies, I think about all of the traveling I have done throughout my life. It wasn't until I started exploring new places, living in other states, and learning about new cultures that I began to really appreciate the rich history of our world. I am very eager to take my students on new adventures without ever leaving our classroom. I also have a passion for the Arts in Education, Health and Wellness Education, and incorporating technology into my lessons.
