Introducing our Literacy Coach- Ms. Bridges
- As Leonardtown High School's literacy coach, I support teachers with literacy, reading, and writing instruction. I taught English here for nine years, and continue to serve as the English department chair. Leonardtown High School is like a family to me, and I enjoy contributing to the school in a different way.
- In this part of the weekly update, I plan on offering tips to parents and guardians interested in supporting their students reading and writing at home. In order to make this relevant to you, please complete this survey (linked here). Thank you for your time and feedback! - Ms. Bridges
