Erin Allen

Science Teacher
Bettendorf Middle School

Erin is an excellent teacher who thinks big picture while creating an individualized classroom experience for all of her students. Erin is collaborative, academically focused, and relationship-oriented. She is the type of teacher I would want my own children to have. I am so proud that BMS can call Erin one of our own.

Donna has been one of the busiest people at BMS. The demand for her position is one that is hard to comprehend. Through all of the struggle, strife, and relentless demands Donna has stayed positive and focused on our students. She is going to be an excellent resource at the High School for students and staff!

Brad has taken on a lot of responsibility at BMS. He is more than just security in many different ways. Through the many hats he wears he makes sure to keep relationships with students at the forefront of what he does.
