Deb Aksamit - I am a Kansan through and through. I was born in Valley Center, KS. My family moved to Salina when I was 15, where I finished high school at Salina Central and then attended Marymount College and graduated with a degree in Elementary Education. I moved to Bennington when I got married. My husband and I have been married for almost 37 years. We have one son. He lives and works in McPherson. I was a stay at home mom until our son entered 6th grade. I’ve been teaching 1st grade in Bennington for the past 16 years.

RacheI Ehlers - I was born and raised in Eastern Colorado, where I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a teacher. That dream came true after graduating from the University of Northern Colorado in 2002 with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Psychology. My husband, Tom, and I moved to Kansas where I have taught for 16 years, 13 in the Twin Valley School District. We are blessed with two wonderful children, Danni and Nate. We enjoy spending time at the lake when we are not at school functions |
Brittney Menges - I am originally from Colby, Kansas. I graduated in May of 2019 from Kansas Wesleyan University with a bachelors degree in elementary education. In my free time I like to spend time with my family and friends and I also love to travel! I currently live in Salina, KS but I frequently make trips back to Colby to spend time with my parents, younger sister, and our pets. I am so excited to meet all of my students this year and begin my first year of teaching! |
