Mrs. Greenway is beginning her 4th year teaching at ILS. She teaches music to all students in grades Jr. Kindergarten through 8th grade.

What is your favorite thing about ILS?
Two of my favorite things about ILS are the incredible musical culture cultivated here and the amazing community.
What book are you currently reading?
I am currently reading The Awakening of Miss Prim by Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera.
What was your favorite thing you did this summer?
My favorite thing this summer was going to the beach in the Outer Banks - twice!
What is one place you would like to visit but have not yet been?
I would love to visit Italy and should have gone this summer, but there was this pandemic or something that prevented us.
What was your favorite subject/class when you were in school?
I loved literature when I was in school.
What was your favorite book as a child?
When I was a child, I could not get enough of the entire Harry Potter series.
What is your favorite scripture verse?
My favorite verse is Isaiah 55:1-2, which we hear at every Easter Vigil service:
“Come, everyone who thirsts,
    come to the waters;
and he who has no money,
    come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
    without money and without price.
Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
    and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
    and delight yourselves in rich food.”
