Art

My name is Elizabeth Hayden. This is my 2nd year teaching Art at Stone Bank School.  Last year, I also taught Art Club after school.

My husband, two kids and I live in Oconomowoc.  My daughter is a 2nd grader at Stone Bank and my son is a freshman at Arrowhead High School.  

I enjoy swimming, taking trips and doing fun projects with my family.

Fun Fact: We also have a life size R2D2, a Gold Fish and a Skinny Pig (Hairless Guinea Pig) in our family!
