The mission of the Brightwood Elementary School Media Department is to design and implement a media program that will meet the needs of all students, teachers, and staff to ensure that they are effective users of ideas and information within their community.

Checkout Policy:

Kindergartners may check out one book at a time.

1st-3rd graders may check out two books at a time.

4th-5th graders may check out unlimited quantities of books as long as no overdue books are checked out. If any items are overdue, no more books may be checked out until overdue items are returned.

Ms. Pendleton

I have been the media specialist at Brightwood since 2006, and I love my job! Before working at Brightwood, I taught 5th grade for three years. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in English and Elementary Education and a Master of Library and Information Studies degree, both from UNCG. I am a National Board Certified Teacher.

At home, I have a wonderful husband, three sweet daughters, and two bad kitties. We enjoy biking, swimming, gardening, playing music, and reading together.
