Hi Briggs Chaney! This is my first year at BCMS but my 13th year in the county. I spent 12 years teaching 3rd, 4th and 5th grade and am really excited to make the switch to middle school. I earned my masters from Cabrini College and went to York College of Pennsylvania for undergrad. I look forward to getting to know the community!
