Favorite TLE® Character:
Flexi Flamingo

My name is Miss Hannah, and I have been an assistant teacher at TLE since March. I am a Junior at SRHS, and love to run track and cross country outside of school and work. I enjoy working here because the environment allows me to build individual connections with every kid from each age group, and to grow as a person as well. My favorite TLE character is Flexi Flamingo, as I think physical fitness is such an important part of a child’s development that is often overlooked, and because she’s pink!
