Mrs. Ssebikindu I am Dr. Lyne Ssebikindu, I am currently teaching third grade. I graduated from University of Memphis with a Doctoral degree in Leadership and a Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I have been in education for the last 28 years. The last 17 years I have been in administration. My past experience includes; principal, assistant principal, coach and classroom teacher. I am pleased to welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year! I am looking forward to having your child as a student. Third grade is such a fun year with so many wonderful learning activities to celebrate. In order to have a fun year, my most important goal is to create a family of learners in my classroom. I am committed to creating a classroom environment where your child is a valued, trusted, and integral part of our family of learners. In order to accomplish this, I have planned a variety of activities to emphasize and reinforce this goal. It is my hope that you will support and encourage this vision at home |
Mrs. Bradshaw
Hi! I'm Elizabeth Bradshaw. This is me first year here at Brighten Academy. I am teaching third grade. I have my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I graduated from the University of Phoenix with Honors. I have two amazing little boys, one is 5 and the other is 2. I have been married to my amazing husband for almost 7 years! I completed my student teaching here at Brighten Academy. So, I have begun building relationships with the teachers and administrators. Even though it is my first-year teaching here at Brighten Academy, I am already familiar with their culture and CREW atmosphere. I am so excited to welcome you and your child(ren) to the 2023-2024 school year! I cannot wait to get to know your amazing child. My goal for this year is to create a welcome, safe, and comfortable environment where each student can thrive, be successful, and be themselves! I am committed to creating relationships with my students and their families, because good communication is how we help our students succeed |
