STAFF SPOTLIGHT Let’s get to know our Thunder Hawk staff! We are proud to shine the spotlight on Hanna Maloney! Hanna is a teacher of Language Arts at the Montevideo High School. This is her 3rd year at Montevideo and her 10th year teaching overall. She previously worked for seven years at GFW High School in Winthrop, Minnesota. Hanna grew up on a crop farm in Springfield, Minnesota, and she is the oldest of nine children. She has four brothers and four sisters. She attended Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, Minnesota. Hanna and her husband Adam have a 1-year-old daughter named Alice. They also have two cats named Bean and Chip. Outside of work, Hanna enjoys reading mountains of books, drinking coffee, antiques, exploring book stores, cats, history, true crime, and going to the movies. One of Hanna’s favorite parts of teaching is dedicating some class time for students to read and select their own books. She loves talking to students about what they’ve read and giving them time to explore their interests. Hanna feels privileged to work with some amazing staff at Montevideo, saying “I have to give a special shout out to Renelle Enevoldsen and Ann Wachtler for being such inspiring English teachers. I learn from you two every day!” Your dedication to teaching, love for reading, and commitment to your students is admirable, and we are lucky to have you on our team, Hanna! We appreciate you! #StaffSpotlight #greatemployees #staffappreciation
