Rebecca Hannon
Executive Team & Kindergarten Teacher
As the founder and president of WNY Strong Foundation, Rebecca takes great pride to be able to participate in the daily rhythms of Strong Academy, especially while her own children are students in the preschool and makers clubs. She carries with her a heart for discipling the next generations so that they will know “just how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ” for them. Her background in Elementary education and years in non profit leadership gives her an edge in pulling together the best staff and curriculum to create a truly exceptional atmosphere that kids will love to be in and where they will grow into all that they were created to be.
