Lisa has been a project leader for four years with the Star City Kids 4-H Club (the largest club in Lancaster County with 67 members). She teaches photography and wildlife conservation projects, and has helped junior leaders teach woodworking and small engines. Currently she is team teaching a geography class with five other volunteers in the club.
Marie Spomer nominated Lisa, saying "Mrs. Burham is a wonderful teacher. She is always finding some hands-on project to make the project fun."
Lisa says, "I like being a 4-H volunteer because 4-H has been such a great learning experience for me and for my family and it has allowed us to make amazing new friendships. One of my favorite experiences was having the opportunity to help prepare a group of some of the best teens around for the music contest. They worked so hard, putting in long hours, and went on to win purple ribbons at the State contest. What a neat bunch of kids!"
She lives in Roca with husband Mark and four sons (all four are members of Star City Kids). When she was younger, Lisa was a member of the Eager Hands 4-H club in Sidney.
