Mrs. Dresdner

     My name is Jaimee Dresdner and my husband and I moved here from Orlando, Florida so he can pursue his MBA at Vanderbilt University. I attended the University of Central Florida, and received my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, certified to teach grades K-6. After graduation, I taught 5 years at Arbor Ridge School (K-8) in 2^nd and 3^rd grade. I was the Reading Trainer for new teachers (grades K-5) and the Math Trainer for all teachers (grades K-2). I absolutely love teaching and I am so thankful for the opportunity to teach at Scales Elementary again in 3^rd grade.

     In addition to teaching, my other passion is dance. I have danced since I was 6 and have taught dance since I was 15 years old. I enjoy tap, jazz, lyrical, clogging, and Irish styles, and I am currently teaching tap and jazz at The Dancer’s EDGE studio in Brentwood. I have had the honor of dancing with greats such as Savion Glover, Dormeshia Sumbry Edwards, Jason Samuels Smith and Karen Callaway Williams. I was also captain of the dance team at UCF and competed with the best teams at nationals every year.

     I love sports and enjoy watching the GATORS on Saturdays and the BUCCANEERS on Sundays!

     I am now living in Bellevue with my husband Lawrence, my cat Potter Brooks and my dog Pudge (Ori Pei).

     I am looking forward to a great year!
