She is a Jenks graduate who went to college on a basketball scholarship at Wichita State.
Mrs. Hanson is a big believer in hands-on learning and works with her students doing science experiments and engaging in lots of interaction.
According to Mrs. Hanson, she had not planned on being a teacher but it just worked out that way.
"I was pursuing my degree in speech-language pathology and then God brought me through working with special needs children and children with autism and I ended up getting alternatively certified as a teacher and that's how I"m teaching first grade now and it's been exactly, it's been the perfect path," said Mrs. Hanson.
