Hi! My name is Erin Van Sickle; this is my first year at Benton. I am currently the Math Interventionist at Atkins and I have loved every second of it! I have loved getting to know all the students and seeing them grow in their learning, and seeing their personalities! When I am not at Atkins, I can be found with my dog, Magnus, snuggling up and reading a new book!
