Lewis Webber

P.E.
My name is Mr. Webber, and I'm a ninth year teacher in my fifth year at Rocky Mountain Classical Academy. After Graduating from the University of Florida, I taught a wide range of subjects from 4th and 5th grade general education, to middle school science, social studies and math. As a PE teacher I thrive on helping kids get comfortable growing with and caring for one of their most important assets: their body! As an outdoor adventure enthusiast, I believe that many of the world's most wonderful possibilities can be accessed or improved with intentional fitness and health routines.

I live with my husband and two lovely kids named Abdiel and Leah, and our energetic dog Max.

My name is Madalyn Watson, I’m originally from Kansas City, born and raised! I moved to Colorado in 2019, after completing my bachelor’s degree in business and shortly after getting my Realtor’s license. I am in my second year of teaching (first year at RMCA) and currently enrolled with University of Colorado Colorado Springs to get my Masters in Educational leadership with a principal license as well as getting my teaching license from Mountain BOCES. I love baseball and football! Fall and winter are my favorite times of the year. I love the cold weather. I have 3 kids, Payton is in 3rd grade and Nathan is in 1st at RMCA. And I just had my newborn son Attakis on September 14th, 2024. My goal right now is to finish school and my masters as soon as possible and stay with the RMCA family teaching financial literacy as long as I can. I do really enjoy teaching the older kids when it comes to education!
