Hi! I am Ms. Brandee Dolgin and this is my fifth year teaching and my first year here at Union Ridge. For the first 13 years of my life, I grew up in Santa Monica, California (check out the picture above!). Then I moved to Chicago, went to high school and continued on to Northwestern University graduating with a degree in Secondary Mathematics Education (certified 6-12). I know it might sound cliche but I have wanted to teach since I could talk! I am so excited for this new year!!

FAQ about Ms. Dolgin
- Favorite Color = purple! When I was younger, it was yellow because I was obsessed with Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I wanted to wear her yellow princess dress 24/7. But my grandmother loved purple and after going to Northwestern, it just kinda stuck!
- Favorite Food = chicken and chocolate (but not together). I have yet to have a piece of chicken that I didn't like so if you have any good recipes, send them my way! And who doesn't love a piece of chocolate? But not dark chocolate...and I don't know why.
- Lucky Number = 4! All of my students find out very quickly that this is my favorite number. It has had a special place in my heart since 2nd grade.
- Birthday = January 24!! I love celebrating birthdays!! :)
- Favorite TV Shows = FRIENDS!! It is actually an obsession to the point where I quote entire episodes. But I also love Grey's Anatomy and Law and Order: SVU, as well as other dramas and comedies as well.
- Hobbies = I love to sing and perform and have been doing so in some capacity since I was 11. I am a singer for a 60s band that performs every few months.
