Welcome to Fifth Grade
The Ashlawn Fifth Grade team would like to welcome you to Ashlawn Elementary School.
Introducing the 5th grade Team
Ms. Margaret Bleicher
Welcome to 5th grade! I grew up in South Florida, and graduated from Vanderbilt University studying both elementary and special education. This is my 10th year at Ashlawn and it is such a special place! I live in Arlington with my husband, 3 kids (9th grade, college freshman, and college junior) and our dog Teddy. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, shopping, travel, and doing DIY projects around the house. We are going to have a great year together!
Ms. Hannah Magnolia
Hi! I’m Hannah Magnolia, and I’m so happy to be a part of the Ashlawn community and the fifth grade team. I grew up outside of Buffalo, NY and attended Vassar College and George Washington University. After working in a variety of office environments, I decided to explore the career I’d always wanted – teaching! I went to Marymount University for my Masters of Education, and I’ve been teaching 4th & 5th grades in Arlington since 2008. When I’m not at school, you can find me relaxing with family and friends, baking with my daughter, spending time outdoors, or just reading a book. Go Ashlawn Eagles!
Ms. Sobel
I can’t wait for another amazing school being your 5th grade math teacher. I am currently getting my Masters at George Mason University in their math specialist program. I grew up right outside of Philly – Go birds! I received my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Penn State – We Are! I lived in Ecuador for a summer and I taught English to University students. A few of my favorites include Starbucks coffee, being outside, butterflies, sunsets, and traveling to new places.
Ms. Lisa Young
I am so excited to teach fifth-grade this year! I am from a small town in upstate New York, and I went college in upstate New York. After graduating from college, I went to law school. I practiced law for five years in California. I then became a stay-at-home mom to my two sons for 10 years. While I was a stay-at-home mom, I started subbing at Ashlawn. I loved it so much that I decided I wanted to become a teacher. I went back to school to earn my teaching license and a masters degree in education. This will be my third year teaching fifth-grade at Ashlawn. My older is now in seventh grade at Swanson Middle School. My younger son is in fifth-grade at Ashlawn. Outside of school I enjoy running, cycling, hiking, camping, knitting, and yoga.
