Lisa Herzog’s Retirement
Congratulations to Lisa Herzog, who will retire this June after an astonishing 37 year-connection with Vista Verde!
Mrs Herzog started as a VV Staff Spouse to School Psychologist hubby Dennis, back in the 1980s, transitioning to Parent Volunteer in the 2000s, actively working on Coffee Connections, World Fairs, dances, field trips, and classroom assistance.
For 11 years, she headed the PTA supported IUSD Arts Advantage program, where she taught, not only the regular AA curriculum, but worked closely with other VV Staff to design additional art-based lessons to supplement classroom teaching in Science, Creative Writing, and more.
During the past 15+ years, Vista Verde has been lucky to have Mrs Herzog in a more traditional Instructional Assistant role, assisting students individually and in a variety of classroom settings.
In retirement, Lisa plans to continue creating art and designing jewelry, as well as volunteering with after school tutoring and art projects for the Boys & Girls Club of Tustin.
We will miss Lisa Herzog’s soft voice, huge smile, and endless positivity and creativity. Best of luck, Lisa!
