About Mrs. Bertsche
I hope everyone has had a great summer. I am very excited about this upcoming school year and cannot wait to get to know you.
I would like to tell you a little about myself. I am married and have one step-son, Jacob and a two year old daughter, Brinkley. My family and I live in Ft. Mitchell, KY. We really enjoy going camping and being outdoors.
I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, from Northern Kentucky University. This is my seventh year teaching and I can not imagine myself doing anything else.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or send a note in your child’s planner.
