BELFAST — Haley Richardson is a teacher in a Life Skills Program at Capt. Albert Stevens School, with second to fifth graders. She has 12 kids in her class and four ed techs who help her do her job.

Miss Richardson loves working with kids and teaching them things they will know forever in their lives. When asked who she would give a shout out to at school she said, “Miss Gail, Miss Bonin, Miss Harding and Mr. Francis. Without them I could not do my job. We are a strong team.”

Her last job was teaching pre-K students, who are little kids before they go to kindergarten. Miss Richardson studied elementary education and coaching at Husson University in Bangor.

In her free time, she loves to snuggle with her four kitties, put LEGOs together and do puzzles. Her favorite vacation spot is Cape Cod, an island in Massachusetts which reminds her of home and is close to the ocean. She has a lot of family who live there and she enjoys visiting them.

Miss Richardson grew up in a small town in Maine, South Thomaston on Buttermilk Lane. She spent most of her time at her Grandma’s home right next door to her house. Her family still lives in those homes. She has one brother, who is five years older than she is.
