As we begin our first full week back to school, we want to introduce to some new Wildcats.

"Hello! My name is Brittany Long, and I’m excited to be teaching 1st grade this year at BPE! This is my 5th year teaching, and I absolutely love being part of each child’s learning journey. Outside of the classroom, I love watching football, spending quality time with my family, and baking. I’m looking forward to a fantastic year with all of you!"
