Library Media Specialist

meet the teacher

Mrs. Prestridge

I graduated in 1997 from J.B. Pennington High School and pursued a degree in Elementary Education at Wallace State College. I obtained an Associates Degree in Science from Wallace State in 1999 and began studying Elementary Education at Athens State University. I graduated from Athens State in 2001 with a B.S. degree in Elementary Education
I obtained my Master’s Degree in Library Media from the University of Alabama in 2004.

I am very excited to begin my 21st year at Susan Moore Elementary School as the Library Media Specialist. I began teaching 2nd grade at Southeastern Elementary School in 2001. While at Southeastern, I taught 2nd grade and kindergarten. In 2005, I began teaching kindergarten at Susan Moore Elementary School. I remained a kindergarten teacher until 2012, when I accepted a position as Library Media Specialist.

I have been married to Brandon Prestridge for 15 years. We have two wonderful children, Adlee Claire (13) and Aubrey Thomas (8) . We live in Arab and attend Gilliam Springs Baptist Church. I feel very blessed to be part of so many children’s lives! I love to read and feel very excited that it's my job to share that love of reading to others. We have the absolute best kids at Susan Moore Elementary School! I am so excited to continue working with our students to develop a love of reading, inquisitive thinking, and the power of knowledge.
