Meet Our Teachers and Staff
Whatever it takes. There is no “one size fits all” way of teaching at Bruning Elementary. Our teachers and staff members also enjoy learning and model it for our students. Many of us are continuing our education, and all of us attend trainings. We share our knowledge and talents with one another and work side by side to support Bruning’s goals.
Make it your goal to get to know all of the teachers and staff at Bruning Elementary School—especially those of us who have the pleasure to work with your child. Strong home-school connections help our little ones shine!
