Hey there! I’m Mrs. Hedges, and I have been a speech-language pathologist for 25 years. This will be my fourth year working at Cypress Elementary. I have worked in other elementary schools in Pasco County and in the rehab setting for adults (but my true love is working with children). Fun fact about me, I have triplet daughters who are almost 11 years old 😊 I love to read and play games for fun. As a family, we like to kayak and travel (mostly around the beautiful state of Florida). I am so happy to see all of you this year!

Mrs. Brantley
-MSOL Teacher

Hi my name is Mrs. Brantley. I am excited to be teaching 3rd grade STEM (Math & Science) this year. Many of you probably already know me from Cypress, as I’ve taught Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade there. I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have two amazing sons; Ayden who is in 6th grade at River Ridge and Carter who is also in 3rd grade at Cypress. In my free time, you’ll find me at the baseball field. Both of my sons play travel baseball; therefore we are pretty busy. I’m eager to be working with all of you this year and can’t wait to get to know you all better.
