Hi, My name is Mrs. Manuel. Although I came to Hawks Rise in the middle of last year, this will be my first full year teaching Kindergarten.

I have 20 years of experience working with children from preschool through elementary age. I received my degree from FSU many years ago and completed the TeacherReady Program more recently.

I have 2 teenagers, 2 adult sons, and 5 grandkids. I enjoy being with my family, working in the children’s ministry program, camping, hiking, and the outdoors.  I have 5 adorable cats that we rescued that seem to be needier than my children and our 2 dogs. 😊

I am super excited to begin this awesome adventure with you and your Kindergartner.
