Lyndsay+T

Hello! My name is Lyndsay Trenge and I am a 4th and 5th Grade Learning Support Teacher at Brandywine Heights Area School District. This is my first full year of teaching in a contracted position.Last year I was a long term substitute for 2nd Grade. I am a Bloomsburg University graduate with a dual major in Elementary and Special Education. I played field hockey in high school and in college, and also coached the middle school field hockey team last year. I love my job for I am fulfilling my passion to teach. I have a brother with Down Syndrome so taking on the everyday challenge on helping each child reach their full potential is something I always wanted to do. I now get to do it every single day. : )

On a personal level, I have a 4 year old yellow lab who is my baby. I got her from my fiance for my 21st birthday. I will be marrying my middle school/high school sweetheart on September 15, 2012. I enjoy being outdoors, taking walks, or going on long runs. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family and trying new things. I look forward to this class because interactive learning has been very successful for my population of students this past year. They are always engaged, and love coming to class. I look forward to being able to take it to the next level.
