About The Teacher

My name is Bridgette Gresham and I am honored to 
be your child’s teacher. After growing up in Brentwood, Tennessee, I moved 
to Homewood, Alabama to attend Samford University.  I graduated in 2005 with 
my Early Childhood/Elementary Education/Special Education/Collaborative 
degree.  After graduating, I taught kindergarten at Shades Cahaba Elementary 
for two years.  My husband and I relocated to Atlanta in July of 2007 and I 
am excited about my third year at Sarah Smith Elementary.  I feel blessed 
to be a part of your child’s education.  I am looking forward to working 
with you to ensure your child has a special and successful year in 
kindergarten!  In ddition to having a passion for education, I enjoy 
spending time with my family, going to football games, reading the magazine 
Real Simple and trying new recipes.

Communication is a vital part of your child’s success in school.  Feel free 
to contact me with any questions or concerns.  Please be aware that I may 
not be able to answer a telephone call during the school day, but feel free 
to leave a message and I will return your call as soon as possible.

A note from our paraprofessional:
My name is Denesya Riley and I am honored to be a member of the Sarah Smith

Mountain,GA with my family.  I graduated in May of 2008 from Agnes Scott

had an interest in education and for that reason, I am currently enrolled in

Sarah Smith Elementary will allow me to  make an impact on the lives of 
young people and I am looking forward to this school year 
with the wonderful kindergarteners.

Mission For The Class

My mission is to foster a classroom environment where children and adults
