Hello everyone! My name is Hayley Hartzog (soon to be Hayley Esqueda - I am getting married this October!) and I am so excited to be your child's first grade teacher this year. I am energetic, positive, and love to make learning fun! I know that we will have a great year together in first. This will be my third year teaching first grade here at Las Lomas Elementary. Prior to being here, I was a kindergarten teacher for two years in Hays CISD. I love teaching the littles and helping them build a strong foundation that they will continue to use throughout their life.

I am orignially from Odem, TX (a small town outside of Corpus Christi, Texas) where I grew up with my parents and younger brother. I attended college at Texas State University where I graduated with my bachelor's degree in elementary education. I love animals and have two cats named Maya and Zoe, and a golden retriever named Isla. I love to read, go hiking, workout, bake sweet treats, shop, and spend time with my family and friends.  

This school year will be filled with lots of learning, fun, and many new adventures! I cannot wait to get to know you, your family, and have a GREAT year in first grade!
