My name is Sarah White, some of you might have heard me referred to as Nurse White. I have served the children of Keystone Elementary for 5 years. It has been a great joy in my life to watch your children grow and learn at Keystone. When I am not at Keystone, you will find at The Hive, in other words, our farm. We have chickens and bees flying everywhere in the summer.

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!
The District Office will be closed Thursday, December 22 through Sunday, January 1. We will be open January 2, 2023 regular hours.
Happy Holidays & Happy New Year!
Have a Happy and Safe Holiday! Stay Warm Bobcats.
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!

I am in my 30th year as an educator at Benton Community and in my first year as the Keystone Elementary Principal. I have been very fortunate to have been able to do a lot of different things in my career as a Bobcat. I taught special education, second grade, and sixth grade in the district. I coached football and wrestling for over 20 years. I also served as the activities director/7-12 assistant principal the last five years. I live in Atkins with my wife Tammy. My son Riley and daughter Peyton are both Benton Community graduates. The Benton Community school district is an amazing place to raise a family.
