Hatley, Brenda

2nd Grade Teacher

bmhatley@seattleschools.org

I have been sharing my love of learning across the nation since 2005, working for schools in New Jersey, Los Angeles, and Seattle.

I graduated from the University of Southern California (Fight On!) with a B.A. in Psychology and earned my M.A. in Public Policy and Education Leadership at Rutgers University while participating in Teach For America.

I am certified by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, have served as a Career Ladder Teacher with Seattle Public Schools, worked as an adviser for Scholastic's weekly readers product, and mentored student teacher interns from City U, Antioch University, and Seattle Pacific University.

I enjoy camping, traveling, reading, running, trying new restaurants, and cheering on the Seahawks with my husband and three children.

Milligan, Erin

5th Grade

ecmilligan@seattleschools.org

My name is Erin Milligan and I am thrilled to be teaching 5th grade at Lafayette! I am from the Pacific Northwest originally and I also lived in France for two years. I have taught kindergarten for several years and my favorite part of teaching young children is fostering the substantial growth and independence of children through the year. I have previously taught in multi-lingual, arts-based, and accelerated academic programs. I live with my husband, our two young children, and dog and love to go on outdoor family adventures. I love being inspired every day by the staff, students, and families at Lafayette.
