Hello everyone! My name is Hannah Stanislawski and this is my second year as Secretary of the FSO. We joined this community two years ago when we moved here from Palmdale, California. I live here with my husband, Darren, our three remarkable children, seven-year-old Andrew and five-year-old twins Grant and Lincoln as well as my wonderful sibling, June.

I was born and raised in California. My husband and I married in 2015. We welcomed Andrew in 2016 and life was simple! Since life was so easy with one child we figured, “what’s one more?” When one more split into two identical boys who fought so unbelievably hard to thrive our life became a tad bit more complicated. Grant and Lincoln were born at 27 weeks after weeks of complications and spent the first three months of their lives in the hospital. When they finally came home Grant was on oxygen and both boys had fragile immune systems. That meant no working for myself while I spent their first two years keeping them isolated. And then in 2020 when they turned two, the pandemic hit, and we spent another year and half in isolation.

Finally in 2022 all three boys were able to go back to school in person and work to catch up with their peers. We moved to Sunderland in September last year and the Calvert County school system immediately helped us find the perfect placement for our boys. Grant and Lincoln learned SO much last year in pre-k and are now thriving in kindergarten. Andrew has loved every moment of school here and is enjoying second grade. Our family feels so lucky to have joined such an amazing community. I look forward to getting to know everyone this year!! Thank you for having me!
