Mrs. Brading~

My name is Blair Brading.  I taught 4th grade for 7 years at Woodland Elementary.  After that I took some time away from the classroom to raise my children, and I am so excited to be back in 4th grade!  I received my Bachelor's and Master's from Furman University (Go 'dins!).  I live in Simpsonville with my husband, Brett, and 3 children:  Braxton (5th grade), Bentley (2nd grade), and Brooke (kindergarten).

We are a house divided.  My husband cheers for South Carolina while I was born and raised a Clemson Tiger.  When I'm not teaching or with my children at their extracurricular activities, I love to play tennis and board games with my family.

Mrs. Edlin ~

Hello, my name is Hope Edlin. I was born in Louisiana, but have lived in Louisiana, Texas, Ohio, South Dakota, and Kentucky. Most of my childhood was spent in Kentucky though and that is where I met my husband, so we consider Kentucky to be where we are from. We have 3 beautiful daughters and twin grandchildren, Thomas and Sophia!

This is my 22nd year teaching and all of those years have been spent at Bethel. I have taught 4th grade and 5th grade. Before I became a classroom teacher, I was the computer lab aide at another Greenville County elementary school.

A few things about me:

-I LOVE to read!

-I enjoy running and fly fishing.

-I'm a foodie. I love to dine out, cook, and try new things. 

Mrs. Rodgers ~

Welcome to my fourth grade class. My favorite subjects are math and science because there are so many things to explore. I have been teaching for 30 years, this is my 21st year at Bethel Elementary. I have taught a variety of grades. I have taught 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade in the past. This is my 20th year teaching 4th grade. I received my undergraduate degree from Winthrop University and my master's degree from Columbia College.

 I have lived in Greenville my whole life. I am married with 3 children, Brittany 31 years old, Charlie 28 years old, and Brooke 26 years old, who graduated from USC and is a nurse. I also have one granddaughter, Kay, that is 9 years old. My husband and I enjoy going to  football games. 

I believe all children can learn. Students learn in different ways and as educators, and parents it is our responsibility to figure out the best way to teach a child effectively. Students need to always be encouraged to do their best everyday and to learn as much as possible.
