NEW TEACHER SPOTLIGHT! 🌟

We’re excited to introduce our new PE teacher, Benton Hanner! 🍎Want to get to know him a little better? Here are a couple of his favorites and some fun facts you may not know!

🍗 Favorite food: Fast-food fried chicken
✈️ Hobbies: Traveling, Basketball, & listening to music

Something that might surprise you... 👀
🐻 He has “never lost a fight against a Grizzly bear.” (We'll just take his word for it! 😂)

If he could choose any superpower, it would be time manipulation—either freezing time or traveling back in time to spend more moments with friends and family. ❤️

We are so excited to have him as part of our Ballard family and can't wait to see the positive impact he makes on our students!

🌟 New Teacher Spotlight: Brielle Campbell 🌟

We are excited to welcome Ms Campbell to our school family! When she’s not in the classroom, you can probably find her sipping on a Coke, hunting for treasures while thrifting, or embracing her old soul spirit.

One of her favorite memories is doing a Halloween science experiment each year featuring a “puking” pumpkin—talk about making learning fun! 🎃🧪 Her dream vacation? A relaxing trip to beautiful Maine!

We are so excited to have her join our team and can’t wait to see the fun, creativity, and energy she brings to our 2nd grade students. Welcome, Brielle Campbell! ❤️🍎
