A little bit about me!

by Lisa Dowding

Hello, my name is Lisa Dowding and I am the resource teacher for grades 4, 5, and 6. This will be my 3rd year teaching at Bennet. Although this is only my 3rd year, Bennet Elementary is very familiar to me since it is where I attended elementary school. I graduated from Palmyra High School in 2001. After graduation, I attended Doane College in Crete, Nebraska and majored in Elementary Education and Special Education and graduated in May of 2005. I have spent the last 2 years working on my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction and this last May I graduated!

Family is also very important to me and a reason why I choose to come back to Bennet. My parents live right outside of Bennet. I have a younger sister and brother. My brother is a sophomore at Palmyra and very active in football, basketball, and track. My sister graduated in 2003 from Palmyra and just graduated from Doane where she also majored in elementary education and special education. She recently got a job at Meadowlane Elementary School in Lincoln. I recently got married in December of 2004 to Nate Dowding, who is also a Palmyra graduate. We live in Lincoln and have a Miniature Australian Shepherd named Shelby. She is our baby and is quite spoiled! Nate and I also spend a lot of time with our nieces and nephew. They are quite the handful but a ton of fun! Besides teaching at the elementary I will also spend a good amount of time at the high school coaching. I am the assistant high school volleyball coach and will be taking on a new job this winter as the head girls basketball coach. I am looking forward to a great year. It will be very busy with lots of new experiences!
