Alumni Shoutout! Hannah (Mihaich) Erhart shared pictures from her time at Discovery from 1999 - 2001!! She shared some of her earliest memories of Discovery are still so clear: The playground, the little red tricycles and Jodett's classroom ferrets! She said it is the relationships that stand out even more than the classroom memories. “Faith and Ann Michelle have always remained around and in my mind,” Hannah shared. “As I’ve grown up they would always stop and say hello to me and my family… When teachers remember you and continue to be involved in your lives for years to come, it truly is SO special.” Today she is raising three children of her own — River, 5, Ivy, 4, and Nora, 16 months — right here in the community where she grew up. She works locally as a nurse, including at her children’s school, and also provides childbirth education and postpartum doula support through her business, Hannah the Birth Coach. This spring, Hannah and her husband also acquired Aces High, adding another exciting chapter to their busy family life. And she still values the Connections from Discovery. “When I see the pictures that my mom dug out from my time in Discovery, I still know exactly who the kids are in the photos! Most of us continued to attend school together through graduation, and that is so special.”
Now, as a parent herself, Hannah is grateful to be raising her children in that same kind of close-knit community. ,

We had the pleasure of welcoming Jackson's Dad, Davis Miller to our PreK classroom! We learned about cross country skiing and had so much fun learning how to wax skis. The kids were fascinated watching him scrape the ski and melt the purple wax using the hot iron! Thanks again Davis for sharing your time and expertise with PreK West!
