Ellen grew up in Enfield, CT and spent many, many weekends skiing and snowboarding in VT with her family as a child. Now she loves living here with her wife and two kids and working in the library at Dummerston School. Ellen's family has a dog named Phoenix, a cat named Mimi, and a leopard gecko named Ollie. She enjoys going out to good restaurants, traveling with her family, and reading.

Nathaniel Evans is entering his fourth year of teaching at Dummerston School after graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston with degrees in Music Education, Drum Set Performance, and a minor in Music Recording and Production. When not in school, Nathaniel enjoys conducting pit bands for NEYT and spending time outside hiking and backpacking. In 2022 Nathaniel thru-hiked Vermont's Long Trail from Massachussets to Canada, and in 2025 he thru hiked the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. Nathaniel is excited to be back and teaching full time at Dummerston School this year!

Ben has been teaching for 11 years as an Art teacher. Not only did he grow up in Bennington, Vermont but he also received his Teaching degree from Bennington College. When not in school, Ben can be found bicycling, adventuring, working in the garden, cuddling with his kitties, or making ART!  

Kim grew up in Putney and graduated from BUHS. She earned her BS in Physical Education at Springfield College in Springfield Massachusetts.  Those of you who are basketball fans might know that this college is where basketball was invented.

Upon completion of college, Kim taught PE in Winchester NH for 15 years before becoming Dummerston's PE teacher. !

Kim believes that the purpose of PE is to help students develop into healthy, physically active, fit people. She seeks to educate all children on the importance of being an active person and instill in them the desire to be fit throughout their whole life.

Kim lives in Dummerston with her husband, two daughters, and many pets.  In my spare time she enjoys taking her dogs on walks, spending time by her pool, socializing with her friends, reading about British royal history, and traveling.
