Hello Bodkin families,
My name is Brian Vandegrift, and I will be teaching Fifth Grade here at Bodkin. This is my first year teaching; however I have been a substitute teacher at Bodkin so I know exactly how amazing our students and families are! I originally started a career in the world of finance but found it to be unfulfilling for me. I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher by completing Loyola Maryland's Master’s program this past Spring. I am so unbelievably excited to begin my teaching career at this wonderful school! During the summer months, you can find me catching and eating steamed crabs in the Dena. You can also find me at the beach catching some rays. Sports are a big part of my life — let's go O's, Ravens, and Terps! Drumming, playing guitar, cooking, and studying Astronomy are also passions of mine. Once again, hello and thank you Bodkin families and friends for letting me join your amazing community! Go Bulldogs!
