Mrs. Bryan is a graduate from Glassboro State College, currently known as Rowan University. She
has been teaching in the area since she graduated in 1994. She was first employed as a teacher for
the Integrated Preschool Project, run by Cape May County Special Services School District. She
worked there for three years. Then she spent one year as a Preschool Disabilities Teacher for the
Linwood Public schools. At the end of that year she transferred to Upper Township as a teacher for
the Multiple Disabilities Program. Once she completed her first year she was asked to teach the
Preschool Disabilities Program. She has been teaching that program ever since. During her time in
Upper Township she also started the Integrated Preschool Program and taught it for three years. Her
current job is working with Preschoolers with Disabilities in the AM and as a Kindergarten Resource
room teacher in the PM.
Mrs. Bryan is married and the mother of two little boys age 5 and 7. She is a Wolf Scout Den Mother
and a soccer and baseball mom. She and her family currently reside in Dennis Township with their
cat, Tuffy and their dog Fred.
Mrs. Kirshy has been a part of the Upper Township support staff since 2002. She was a one on one
aide for her first three years in the district. Then she was asked to join the Preschool Disabilities
program. She has worked with Mrs. Bryan in the Integrated Preschool and in the Preschool
Disabilities class.
Mrs. Kirshy is the mother of two grown boys 18 and 23. She and her boys reside in Tuckahoe with
their cat, Freckles and their dog, Zoe.
For the children to participate in a language rich environment, that is loving and encourages
independence. I want all families to feel like they are a part of their childs
educational program. I also want all children to feel like school is a fun place to be.
