For almost 30 years, Miss Lizz has been caring for Bend's kiddos as part of the village that helps raise our community. Her days are filled with stories, art, garden time, and plenty of outside play. She has a soft spot for hummingbirds and dragonflies, which is why you will see them all over this page.
