My name is Kacie Brown, and I am entering my third year as a Brandywine Badger! Before moving to Georgia, I lived in a small, rural town in Kentucky which is where I also attended university. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Elementary Education K-5 as well as a Master's in Special Education (Learning and Behavioral Disorders P-12). I enjoy all things sports, theme park, and dog related! I have been co-teaching 4^th grade with Mrs. Windham since I moved to Brandywine, so I am thrilled to share another academic year and classroom with her. 

My name is Melissa Gann and I am thrilled to return to Brandywine for my 25th year of teaching. I helped open Brandywine and it was the best decision I could have ever made. I have spent my teaching career teaching kindergarten and second grade general education, gifted, and special education. I have been so fortunate to co-teach with my other half, Veronica Beattie. The two of us, known at the BEATTANNS, are going on our 13th year teaching together. I have two boys, 16 and 18 and they are truly my world! Looking forward to a great 2024-2025!

Hi Badgers! My name is Noelia Fredericks.  I have been a Paraprofessional for the past 3 years for an ACA classroom as well as SBA. I am extremely excited to start my first year as an IRR teacher serving students in traditional and DLI classrooms at Brandywine. I have my bachelor's degree from Brescia University.

I am originally from Florida and lived in Puerto Rico during most of my elementary school years. 

My husband and I have three sweet kiddos (Ayden, Shawn Jr and Yanelis) and we moved to Georgia in 2018 to be closer to the mountains. We enjoy hiking, traveling, bowling, and spending time together. 

I am looking forward to an amazing year!
