Hi there! My name is Roxie Benjamin and this is my second year as a Duke. I love teaching first grade and love being part of York Elementary! I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with an English as a Second Language endorsement. I have a Master's Degree in Instruction, Assessment, and Learning and am starting to work on my Administration Endorsement. I am the English as a Second Language (ESL) coordinator for the district.
My husband and I moved to Husker Nation in August of 2015 with our two children, Colter and McKenzie. Colter is 5 and is going to preschool this fall. He loves to ride in tractors, talk about his "pivots", and go to tumble tots. McKenzie is almost 3 and loves to RUN everywhere, mow the lawn with her dad, wear sparkly clothes, and eat chips. My husband Brian works for 3D Supply and as a hired man for Duane Grotz and Darren Grotz doing farm work.
I love teaching! I taught preschool for a year and half and then was an Environmental Education teacher in Montana for a year. I taught first grade for 1 year as well before moving to York. I hope to teach in York for many more years. I enjoy being outside and gardening. I also enjoy Jazzercise, camping, yoga, and spending time with my friends and family.
