Hi, I'm Mrs. Joefee Hazel Bigay!

This is my first year at Pickett Elementary School as an EC teacher. I graduated in the Philippines with a major in Special Education.

I am thrilled to begin this school year with all of you. Together, we will learn, explore, and grow every single day. My classroom is a safe space where mistakes are part of learning and kindness is always encouraged. Parents and families, I look forward to working with you as partners to support your child's success. Let's make this an exciting and memorable year!
