MEAGAN HAYS

 Meagan grew up on a farm just outside of Lonedell, Missouri with her parents,  two sisters, and one brother.  She enjoys horseback riding, playing in the woods, and learning about animals of all kinds.  Her summers were filled with Vacation Bible schools, Drama camps, and Mission Trips.  She attended East Central College where she earned her Associate's Degree in Music. She loves adventures and learning.  Her pursuits include music, drama, political science, and of course teaching!  She married in 2009 and had her daughter in 2012.  She operated a daycare out of her home for 7 years before she re-entered the workforce as a permanent substitute Librarian and Computer Lab.  This is when she knew that she wanted to finish her education degree.  She completed her degree through Western Governors University in Elementary Education and is certified to teach grades one through six. She now lives in Washington with her husband and daughter.  She spends her days enjoying the riverfront, sharing her love of learning and music with her daughter, and serving others in the name of Jesus Christ.
