About the Teacher

Hello Class Parents! My name is Amy Brydges, and this is my 30th year teaching kindergarten. I also taught one year of 6th grade. I love early childhood, learning from my students, and watching them grow before my eyes.

My husband, Andy, and I live in Suffield, CT. We have 2 children (Charles, 21 and Emily, 19) and a dog named Lily.

Our classroom assistant is Samantha Quirk! Our first kindergarten classes together (back in the days of AM/PM) just graduated from Longmeadow High School! She lives in Longmeadow with her husband, John. They have 2 children (Emily, 24 and Will, 22).
