Mrs. Hannah Schleef -- Grades 4K-5K

Mrs. Schleef nurtures the littlest lambs at St. Matthew. Though she initially studied Secondary English at MLC, she has since fallen in love with early childhood education and completed her studies in this area at WLC. Growing up in rural southwest WI, she was blessed with spending a lot of her childhood outdoors, developing a deep connection to nature. She and her husband Jared have now shared that same love of the outdoors with their four beautiful children. Accordingly, Mrs. Schleef brings nature-based, play-based learning to the children of St. Matthew's, experiencing God's creation through hands-on discovery!
