Welcome!

Hi! I’m Laura Hange. I’ve always loved spending time with children. I’m originally from Chicago, IL. I loved my own Catholic education experience. As a child I attended Immaculate Conception Elementary School, followed by Resurrection High School for girls. After receiving my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Marquette University in Milwaukee, I earned my teaching certificate from Northeastern Illinois University. Soon thereafter, I decided to go on an adventure and move west. Upon arriving in Seattle, I taught pre-K at a childcare center in Bellevue. After that, I spent twenty wonderful years teaching first and second grade at Open Window School, an independent  school for gifted learners on Cougar Mountain. Recently, I stepped into a multitude of substitute positions at The Giddens School, a preschool through fifth grade independent  school in Seattle. I am excited to watch my Kindergarten students learn and grow this year at St. Madeleine Sophie! 

I have lived in the PNW for over twenty-five years. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my silly rescue hound, Pony. I also like playing trivia, sewing, and watching all sorts of sports. I am particularly passionate about cheering for the Chicago Cubs.
