    My name is Kate McDearmon, and I am thrilled to be a Brandywine Badger! This is my 12th year of teaching and my fourth year at BWE. For the past few years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to stay at home with my children (Alice, 7, and Miles, 5). Prior to this, I taught 2nd and 4th grades in Gwinnett County, Phenix City, Alabama, and an American school in Sao Paulo, Brazil. My daughter was born in Brazil, and we decided to return home to Atlanta to be close to family. I have both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Elementary Education from the University of Georgia. In addition, I hold ESOL certification and elementary mathematics and reading endorsements. My husband, Brian, is a high school English teacher in Fulton County, and we enjoy living in the Alpharetta community. In my free time, I love to play the flute and go on adventures with my family. 3rd grade is an incredible year of learning and growth, and I feel privileged to spend it with you and your child!
