Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year. My name is Mrs. Bryan and I am your child's first grade teacher. This is my 20th year of teaching - I have taught Kindergarten for 12 years, 5 years in 2nd grade, and this will be my third year teaching in 1st grade.

I graduated from Averett University with my teaching certification. Then went back to Averett to get my Masters in Reading Specialization. I started teaching at I.W. Taylor Elementary School until they closed the school, then came to Gibson Elementary. 

I just got married in 2021. My husband and I also live in Martinsville, VA. 

I am so excited for you to be in my classroom. There are some new changes this year in the school system, and we are going to learn so much this year - Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Let's have fun! Don't be afraid to ask me a question. :-)
