Today's Teacher Spotlight is on Miss Hannah, our caring Pre-K Assistant! 💚🤍
Miss Hannah's favorite thing about teaching at PCES is watching the big leaps her students make from the beginning of the school year to the end—not just academically, but emotionally and socially as well.
She loves PCES because of the close relationships she has with her coworkers, who aren't just coworkers—they're friends! She also loves being part of a small school where students are known and supported, and everyone feels like family.
Outside of school, Miss Hannah is a proud mom of three! She enjoys spending time with her family, watching her kids play sports, traveling, enjoying the outdoors, taking care of her 26 chickens, teaching children's church on Sundays, and—believe it or not—even cleaning! 🐔😊
💚🤍 Drop a "hello" in the comments for Miss Hannah! Say hi, ask her a question, or leave her a kind word! 🍏
