Welcome!

Hello! My name is Brenda Crawford and I am the Media Specialist, better known as 'Librarian', here at Frye Elementary!

Let me tell you a little about myself. I was born in Delaware, but grew up in New York. I moved to AZ in 1979. I met my husband here, graduated from ASU with my teaching degree, and never looked back. I have two children who are both teachers, I have 4 grandchildren, and a twenty year old cat. I have taught elementary school, been an elementary school librarian, worked with journalism students at a college newspaper, worked at the public library, at 2 high schools here in the Chandler, and am now back to my roots in elementary school. I have learned so much from all the students I have worked with!

In my free time I love to draw and paint. I originally came to AZ as an art student. I also knit, crochet, embroider, and sew. I love creating art of any kind. I also love books and reading, of course! I would love to someday write and illustrate a children's book.
