I have been a teacher in the Edgewood School District since 1994. I attended college at Miami University in Oxford. I graduated in 1993 with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education (grades 1-8). I earned a Master's Degree from MIami, in Curriculum and Teacher Leadership, in 1997.

I began at Edgewood teaching fifth grade at the middle school. After 4 years of teaching there, I then moved to the elementary level. I have taught fourth grade ever since! I team with Mrs. Lawson.  I teach reading, language arts, and social studies. Mrs. Lawson teaches math and science.

Teaching has always been my passion. I am very happy in my profession, and love what I do! In my free time, I enjoy reading, working in my garden, and cutting coupons! ( Yes, I am one of those crazy coupon ladies!) My husband Brian and I have been married for 17 years. He is a lieutenant at LeCI. We are both Edgewood graduates! We have two children. Our son Brad is 15 years old, and is a sophomore at Edgewood High School. Brad plays many sports, but baseball is his favorite. He is also bowls for Edgewood and Eastern Lanes! Our daughter Brooke is nine years old, and is in fourth grade at EES. Brooke plays baseball and volleyball. We are all big Edgewood football fans & enjoy the high school games on Friday nights!

I look forward to getting to know everyone at EES this year! Mrs. Bendel :)
