Mrs. Burnis |
Welcome to 6th Grade!Hi, my name is Lisa Marie Burnis. I just recently moved to the UP this past summer. I
have been vacationing here for most of my life. My dad always said, “The UP is God’s Country!” I truly feel that he was right! I was born in the suburbs of Detroit and went through twelve years of Catholic schooling. I attended Michigan State University and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Human Nutrition and Food Science. I also attended Eastern Michigan University to earn my Teaching Certificate and ZA endorsement. My Faith is the most important thing in my life. I am a life long learner and love teaching. I am married to my best friend, Tom Burnis of Gulliver. Tom and his two boys attended Saint Francis de Sales School. I have three girls that also went to Catholic Schools. We believe in Catholic School education. We have a GoldenDoodle, “Charlie”. I love living on the lake and enjoy all four seasons of sports. I love to spend time in the kitchen baking and cooking. My favorite thing to do is walk along the water’s edge of Lake Michigan, or walk in the silence of the woods with nature. That is where I feel closest to God. I was teaching at St. Patrick School in Brighton, Michigan before relocating to the UP. I am thrilled to be a part of the Saint Francis de Sales School family. |
