My name is Lauren Tandy, I teach second-grade at Keystone Elementary. I grew up in Benton County, but wore black and gold for the majority of my life (don't hold it against me). I love being a Bobcat, and I especially love being a Bobcat at Keystone Elementary, where I get to spend my days with some of the best staff and students!

Hello, my name is Jordan Meyer. I grew up in the small town of Calmar which is located just south of Decorah in northeast Iowa. I love hunting, fishing, board games, card games, and spending time with family and friends. In the summer of 2021, I moved to Atkins with my wife, Meridith, and daughter, Moira. Our family grew last July with the birth of our son, Leo. This is our first year as Benton Bobcats. I hope that my family and I are a good contribution to the school and community.

My name is Sarah Sellers and I am a 2nd-grade teacher at Keystone Elementary. This is my second year in the district. I live in Vinton with my husband Dakoda and daughters Sevenna and Scottie. One of my new roles at Keystone this year is being the Monday Music Mayhem DJ. Each week I play a song and the classroom that is caller number five, gets classroom treats! I love hearing the cheers when a class realizes that they won! This is another way our building has a community feel that invites students and staff to have fun together!
