My name is Chrissy Benedict, and I have been teaching Kindergarten at O.A. Thorp for 25 years. I love what I do and feel fortuante to say I wouldn't want any other career. I have a passion for helping young learners grow, find their confidence and become sucessful in all they do! When I'm not teaching, I'm spending time with my family. I'm married with two children (ages 14 and 10) who keep me very busy! I love to read, listen to music, go to concerts, and eat good food! Even though I grew up in Western New York, I am a huge Cubs fan, but I will always cheer for the Buffalo Bills!
