Hi, my name is Robyn Cherveny. I have been teaching for fifteen years. This is my tenth year at Benton and all of those years have been spent teaching at Atkins Elementary. I have taught kindergarten for nine years and this is my first year venturing up to second grade! A few facts about me: I have a son who is five and attends AK in Atkins, and my family lives on our century+ farm outside of Van Horne where we farm corn and soybeans. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, being outdoors, and attending my son’s activities. I am very passionate about health and fitness, and the farm life! Benton Community is a wonderful place to live. I am grateful to work in an environment with amazing staff, families, and students in a place where everyone feels like they belong. Go Bobcats!!

My name is Cynda Mehlert and I am in my 12th year of teaching. I am a Special Education Teacher at Atkins Elementary but have taught in multiple buildings and grade levels throughout my 9 years at Benton Community. My husband Chad and I live in Atkins and have three kids, (Jaxson, Leigha, and Logan) who are students in the district. We spend most of our time watching our boys wrestle, camping with our friends and family, or cheering on the Hawkeyes!
