Our Team is Growing! We are thrilled to add Mrs. Hannah Laney to our staff!! 🎉
Hi! My name is Hannah Laney and I am thrilled to be joining the amazing team at Jay Elementary! I’ve been close by for the last six years as an English Language Arts teacher at Jay High. In a few months, I will graduate from my undergrad Alma Mater, the University of West Florida, with a master’s degree in Educational Leadership. My husband and I grew up in Jay and reside here with our three children, who all attend JES. My love for this community is deeply rooted and seems to only grow stronger with age. I look forward to meeting all the precious faces of my new students soon! It’s great to be raising Royals 💙
