Erin Willis - Board Member
I was born and raised in Lafayette and although I spent several years away in Florida, when my husband and I decided to have children, we wanted to move back to Lafayette to be close to family.  My husband and I have been married for 13 years and have two independent and rambunctious children, Toby, who attended MSGL through kindergarten and is now at Battle Ground Elementary and Sabrina who is currently in Red Oak.  Over the past 5 years at MSGL, I have witnessed both my son and daughter grow into very caring, compassionate and creative children, which I credit in part to our wonderful school.  Our community is very lucky to have such a supportive environment for our children to learn and grow.  As a parent run school, we have a lot of responsibility to ensure the success and growth of this organization for future generations and I am happy to do my part.  
My Personal Statement
As a mother of two students, one current and one alumnus, a Board Member and alumnus of the school, I feel very passionate about the school and its quest to live by its mission of providing a child-centered environment facilitating independent learning, where a child may learn for the love of knowledge.
