Hello there!  My name is Takara Weir. I am from East Longmeadow, MA. From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. For the past five years, I have been a Camp Counselor at the Arbors Kids. I have had the pleasure of working with all age groups ranging from 5-12, but I always found myself coming back to working the younger ones. I recently graduated from Westfield State University with a double major in Early Childhood Education and Liberal Studies with a concentration in Spanish. A few of my hobbies include reading, watching Netflix, exercising, and spending time with family and friends. I am very excited to be your teacher and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me or one of the other teachers!

Hello, my name is Laurel Weissman and I am from the Sturbridge area of Massachusetts. I have recently graduated with a major in Elementary Education and a concentration in Psychology from Westfield State University. During the summertime, I work at Leicester Public Schools, where I have worked as a paraprofessional. I have worked with all grade levels including preschoolers, elementary, middle and high schoolers! Some of my hobbies include photography, volunteering, and spending time with family and friends. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to myself or one of the other teachers! I look forward to having a great school year!


Hello!  My name is Anastasia Hansen, but my nickname is Stasia! I am a recent graduate of Westfield State University; majoring in Special education, Liberal arts, and a minor in Psychology. I am originally from the Northshore, Newburyport, MA and have one older brother, Daniel. I come from a big Greek family so get ready for a year full of unconditional love, excitement, and positivity throughout our classroom. 


A few hobbies of mine include; traveling, getting together with friends and family, going to the beach, going up to my family built camp on Wilson lake in Maine. In the summer, you can find me either working at Marshall's and/or living my best camp life as a camp counselor at the Metropolis of Boston Camp! Please let me know if you have any further questions about our classroom or myself. Please do not hesitate to reach out about your child’s special education services. I look forward to having a great school year full of fun, passion, and learning!
