Hello, Panthers! Happy Thursday! What a beautiful day to get some fresh air outside! I encourage everyone to get some exercise, take some nice refreshing deep breaths and let the sunshine hit your face (while still maintaining a safe distance away from others)! Tomorrow, in an effort to reach as many folks, Ludlow and beyond, I will be hosting a LIVE Pajama Puppet Party from my music facebook page, Miss Hanna Rae Mathey! There will be puppets, storytime, jokes, songs, and dancing! Fun for all ages! Round up your instruments and puppets, (or make some using creative materials!) and let's PAJAMA PUPPET PARTY! Take care everyone and I hope to see you tuning in tomorrow!

About Ms. Mathey
Hello! My name is Hanna Mathey and I am honored to be the K-6 Arts and Humanities teacher at Mary A. Goetz Elementary. The Arts have always been a major part of my life, and I love teaching students of all ages and ability levels. I love to sing and play music. I play the violin, viola, ukulele, kazoo, and all sorts of other instruments!
I grew up in Sycamore, IL, and moved to Chicago, IL where I received my bachelors degree from the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University in Music Education with Viola. After spending over a decade teaching music in the Chicago Public Schools, I found my way here to Ludlow, and have loved all the region has to offer!
