Hello, my name is Brenda Bogner.  I was born and raised in Kansas and lived for six years in Wisconsin before moving to Oklahoma.  I have had an awesome background giving me experience working with senior citizens, juvenile offenders, abused children and adult prisoners at a county jail.  My most previous job was a stay at home mom, where I embraced my desire to teach elementary students! 

                This will be my second year at Grove Valley Elementary.  I look forward to continue working with students as they learn to think outside the box!  If you have talked with any of my previous students, you will learn that I say “Think outside the box.”; “There is always more than one way to solve a problem or challenge.”  I completely believe this and I believe that all students can learn and accomplish ANYTHING they want to accomplish!

As I said before, I was a stay at home mom in my previous job.  Well, I am still a mom and absolutely love that job!  My children and my husband are the center of my world.   They are why I am teaching.  They present challenges and rewards to me that I carry back to my classroom each day.

I encourage my students to be lifelong learners.  To walk the talk, I am also working toward my Master’s Degree in Education.  Obviously, I cannot do this full time, so I am chipping away one class at a time and have gone far enough to see the light at the end of the tunnel!  This also puts me back into the student seat to remember what it is like to be a student.

Again, I am so excited to be working with your children.  Know that their best interests are at the front of my mind at all times.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have ANY questions or concerns.  The best way to work with my students is to listen to them and communicate with you.
