Gray, Gretchen

PE Specialist

ghgray@seattleschools.org

I was born and raised in Seattle.  I have five siblings, and my family all still lives in the area, too. One of my siblings is also a PE teacher.  I grew up in Ballard.  I have been at John Hay since 2016, and I have enjoyed all the positive relationships I have built with students and staff over the years.  I love to see students living healthy, active, and joyful lives through physical activity.  When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, going to baseball games, hiking, and being outside in the PNW as much as possible. I also love going to different baseball stadiums throughout the country, and I have been to 17 MLB stadiums!

I have been a teacher at John Hay since 2004. I currently teach 4th/5th grade, which is the best! With a student-centered focus, high expectations for all, and work around developing the whole child, I work to ensure that every student is ready for success in middle school and beyond.

I am committed to empowering my students to be advocates for themselves and others.

Speech Language Pathologist

ablapus@seattleschools.org

I was born in the Philippines and came to California when I was 7. I’ve lived in Cali, Oklahoma and Minnesota. Now Washington. Love it here and don’t think we’ll leave. I have two lovely dogs and a husband. I enjoy hiking, camping, running, kayaking, and painting. My favorite animal is an alpaca. I earned my Master’s of Speech-Language Pathology at MSU, Mankato and have worked as a SLP for six years (3 years with pre-k to 12th grade at a school district in MN, 1 year at a children’s pediatric clinic in Renton, WA, and this is my third year here at SPS).

 

Looking forward to being part of the John Hay family too! 😊
