Alexis Ryan
After more than a decade as a Lower School classroom teacher, Alexis Ryan now oversees the Library and Makerspace at Whitby School in Greenwich, CT. She inspires children through hands-on projects in the Makerspace while also promoting a love of reading to all students. In addition, she is passionate about outdoor education and views our Schoolyard Habitat as an important resource of the school. Alexis inspires students to connect to their learning though literacy, research skills and projects, and creative and innovative outlets to ensure that students make meaningful connections to their learning. When not at Whitby she spends time on Shelter Island with family and friends, collecting beach glass and taking long walks to enjoy the natural beauty of the island.
