Bay Ansel is a proud recent fifth grade graduate of McGaugh Elementary, where she was a sea lion and made so many great memories. As the oldest of three, Bay is a loving sister to her two younger brothers, who are continuing the family tradition at McGaugh. Bay's name holds a special story. She was named after the Bay Theater, a place where her parents used to visit while driving about one day, living in Seal Beach and raising their family there. Now, Bay is living that dream and is deeply connected to her community. She's excited to begin her next chapter at McGaugh McGaughflin Middle School and is ready for the all new experiences again. Bay loves spending time at the beach, riding her bike around town, serving her community, and making memories with her family and friends. On June 10th, 2026, the City of Seal Beach officially recognized Bay Ansel as our honorary mayor for the day. This unique experience was donated by the city to Project SEEK as an auction item for their annual fundraiser. …
