Mrs. Brandenburg was brought to my mind today as I was going through the teachers that made a positive impact on me. Mrs. Brandenburg made learning fun and showed a strong love for reading. I loved being in her 5th grade class and her love for students and education inspired me to become a 5th grade teacher too.

Mrs. Brandenburg was my fifth grade teacher and worked as an assistant for Mr. Brandenburg. The Brandenburg´s were a wonderful couple and both were instrumental in the success of so many at Madison.
Condolences to family and friends.
