SCHOOL PHONE:


My name is Elise Bradford, and I will be a third grade teacher this year! It 
is an incredible opportunity to teach at a Great Expectations model school! 
This will be an awesome year for both your children and me! 

I was born and raised in Chickasha, Oklahoma.  I attended Oklahoma State 
University where I pursued a degree in Elementary Education.  Following my 
junior year I was selected for the ExCel program at OSU which is a clinical 
practice internship that allowed me to student teach for an additional 
semester in a third grade classroom.  I graduated cum laude from OSU with a 
Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education in December, 2008.  After 
graduation, I spent a semester substitute teaching which gave me experience 
in several classroom settings.   

In May I married my wonderful husband Angelo, whom also graduated from OSU 
with a degree in Construction Management.  We moved to Edmond in July, and 
are still getting to know the area.  I enjoy hanging out with family and 
friends, playing games, watching movies, cooking, reading, watching OSU 
sports, and going to church.

 I am dedicated to instilling responsibility along with a love for acquiring 
knowledge in the lives of my students.  My desire is to give young people a 
strong foundation in academics, character development and life skills.

I am proud to be at Deer Creek Elementary School, and I cannot wait to meet 
everyone! We are going to have a terrific year in third grade!
