Ms. Laura Hasenauer
E-Mail: LHasenauer@wcpss.net
I grew up in Raleigh and attended Wake County public Schools. I went to John Brown University in Arkansas, where I studied Elementary Education and ESL. After teaching in Randolph County, NC for two years, I moved to Kampala, Uganda and taught Kindergarten at an international school for 3 years! In summer 2018, I moved back to NC and joined the Davis Drive family!
I am passionate about learning and trying new things and I love to share that passion with my students! I strive to create a family atmosphere in my classroom where each student is celebrated. I look forward to a great year in Kindergarten!
When I am not teaching, I enjoy being outside, trying new foods and experiences, and visiting friends all over the country and the world! I am so excited to get to know you and your child!
