Ms. Leah Branon - Early Ed Art
Hi, my name is Leah Branon. I started working in the Afterschool Program at Saint Francis in 2023. Working with the early education team solidified my desire to work with younger children. In the fall of 2026, I look forward to combining my love for SFX’s littlest learners and art as the art teacher for PreSchool, Pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten.
I grew up in Fairfield, Vermont on an organic dairy and maple farm alongside sixth grade teacher, Andrew Branon, and the rest of the Branon crew! I graduated from UVM (magna cum laude) in 2024 with bachelor’s degrees in Social Work and Studio Arts.
Outside the classroom, you can find me performing with my band, trying new recipes, making art, decorating for any holiday, and taking care of all my plants!
I am so excited to utilize my creative energy within the classroom to continue learning and growing with the incredible community of Saint Francis Xavier!
