Cathy Hay - 'Big Boss', Site Coordinator

Cathy Hay has been teaching kids for over 30 years! In 1994 she began her own gymnastics program and conducted four different programs in Bigfork, Kalispell, Whitefish and Columbia Falls. In 2007, the first afterschool program in Bigfork began under her direction. Cathy has two grown children, an Australian Shepherd, and is married to her biggest supporter, Jon!

 Amanda Potts - kindergarten group

Amanda, your kids may know her as Panda, will be going on her fifth year at ACES. Amanda is an essential part of our team caring for our building, keeping things in order, as well as being the brave leader for our Flying ACES group (grades pk-1). Her free time is spent in the mountains, near a body of water, or playing in the trees. Regardless of where, she is happy as long as she has her two boys with her.

Jon Hay - food program director

Jon, also known as Cookie, is our food program director and maintenance man. He has the very important job of making sure your kids are not only fed but are fed very nutritious foods that they also enjoy, not an easy feat. Jon Hay is the husband of Executive Director Cathy Hay so he also has the important job of being her #1 support system. Jon and Cathy began building their own home a few years back on 5 glorious acres outside of Bigfork. His hobby is working on the house, garden and taking care of the goats, chickens and mini Aussie, Bea. ​

 kayley campbell - kitchen assistant

Kayley starting attending ACES as a kindergartener back in 2013!  She began working for ACES when she turned 14 years old. Over the years Kayley has been a huge asset working within ACES food program. It has been wonderful to witness her grow and become the strong, dependable worker that she is. When Kayley is not at ACES you might catch her riding her electric bike around, hanging at home or participating in school activities.
