Hello! My name is Ms. Bender, and I am excited to join the Carteret Middle School community as your new Art teacher. With over a decade of teaching experience under my belt, I have had the privilege of inspiring creativity and artistic expression in students of all ages. My approach to teaching art is centered around fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where students can explore their unique talents through various mediums and techniques. I am passionate about guiding students to discover their artistic voices and encouraging them to express themselves through their work. I look forward to collaborating with the amazing staff and getting to know the wonderful students and families in this district!
