Hello! My name is Ms. Maranda Hanley and I am the 5th grade Learning Support Teacher at Bellefonte Elementary. I attended Central Mountain High School and graduated in 2019. I graduated from Commonwealth University - Lock Haven in May of 2024 with a dual degree in Early Childhood and Special Education. The 2025-2026 school year will be my 2nd year teaching!
I cannot wait to spend a year learning and growing alongside an AWESOME group of kiddos who will hopefully foster a love for learning!
I currently live with both of my parents, my younger brother and his puppy (the cutest fur-nephew) Cruze in a small, rural town! Some of my favorite things include: singing, going to concerts, spending time with my friends and family, summer time sunshine, playing/watching sports, and pretty sparkly lights. Here is a quick answer to questions I often receive from families:
My favorite food: Chili Cheese Dogs
My favorite drink: Dunkin' Iced Coffee
My favorite animal: Dogs
My favorite color: Purple and Jade Green
Fun Facts: Summer/Fall are my favorite seasons, Christmas is my favorite time of year, and Birthdays are my absolute FAVORITE thing to celebrate!
