Mrs. Wendy Bardeen
Hi! My name is Wendy Bardeen. I am originally from Ohio and grew up with an older brother and sister. I moved south when I went to the College of Charleston in South Carolina. I earned my undergraduate and graduate degrees from there. I loved living in such a fun and beautiful city so close to the ocean. I was then lucky enough to move to Raleigh when I got a job teaching in 2002. I have had the pleasure of previously teaching preschool, K, 1st Grade, 3rd grade, and 4th grade. I was also an Intervention teacher & Literacy Coach for several years.
I love spending time with my family, including my 2 boys, Eli and Joel, and my sweet dog Jazzy. I enjoy being outside, hiking, going to the beach, swimming, reading, and cooking. I also love learning new things and am really looking forward to teaching and learning with you this year!

Mrs. Lisa Clark
Hello! I am Lisa Clark. I am very excited to be a unicorn! I grew up in Michigan and received my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan. This is my 22nd year teaching in some capacity. Most of my experience has been in First Grade. Prior to arriving at North Ridge, I taught at Abbotts Creek Elementary and at Brassfield Elementary. My husband and I are the parents of 4 boys. I enjoy reading, traveling, going for walks, and playing board games or hide-and-seek with my family. I look forward to getting to know more about your child as we set the foundation for a wonderful elementary school experience!

My name is Vanessa Jeanty. I was born in Seattle and raised in Raleigh. I will be going into my fifth year of teaching this school year and am so very excited! I attended East Carolina University and earned my Bachelor's in 2019 and Master's degree in 2023 in Elementary Education. I began teaching in 2019 and have taught in grades third and first. I look forward to my first year here at North Ridge and to create a learning environment in which my students support and respect one another!
During my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my cat, Milo. Some of my favorite things are reading, writing, and traveling when I can.
