My name is Hayley Bedenbaugh. I was born and raised in Newberry. I am the youngest of four girls. I graduated from Newberry College in 1997 with a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I received National Board Certification in 2007 and recertification in 2017. I received my Masters in Educational Technology from American College of Education in 2013 . I have been a teacher for 27 years and have taught Pre-K, Kindergarten,1st and 3rd grades. I currently live in Prosperity with my husband, Charlie and have three children together, Hayden, 25, and Carley(Jenn), 31, and Alex (Mackenzie), 35. Since our children are grown and gone, we are now dog parents to 2 miniature dachshunds, Oscar and Patch. I enjoy spending time with family and friends on the lake or at the beach. I also enjoy singing on my church's praise and worship team and watching Clemson football. I am so excited about being your child's teacher this year! We have a lot of fun things planned!
My name is Brittany Bickley. I will be the Teacher Assistant in your child's class this year. I married my high school sweetheart, Cliff. We have a 6 month old named Baby Lane. We have 1 dog, Gracie, and 1 cat, Bo. This will be my 13th year as a kindergarten Assistant and my 8th year at PGE. I received my Associate Degree in Early Childhood from Midlands Tech. I enjoy being with my family and friends, reading, cheering on the Clemson Tigers, boating on Lake Murray, going to Edisto Beach, and shopping. I look forward to watching your child grow as a learner and having a great year together.
