Bledsoe Teacher Highlight of the Week
Bledsoe Teacher Highlight of the Week - April Priebe
April Priebe is a 2nd grade teacher at Bledsoe Elementary. She is beginning her 8th year in FISD and she could not be more thrilled to be teaching 2nd grade at Bledsoe. April received her Elementary Education degree from Texas Tech University, where she met her husband, Chris. She has been married for 22 years and has 4 boys: Austin (15) who is a sophomore at Wakeland High School; Mason (14) and Carson (12) attend Griffin Middle School; and her "baby", Hudson (11), will be finishing up elementary school at Pink this year.
Mrs. Priebe was influenced by her second grade teacher, Mrs. Scott, who had a huge impact on her life. She can still remember all the loving, wonderful memories from being in her class. Mrs. Priebe shared that her goal is to create these same types of memories for your child. Mrs. Priebe looks forward to partnering with you this year to ensure your child leaves her classroom with a life-long love for learning!
