Mrs. Hull

I was born in Utah, but have been in Arizona for 30 years. I graduated from ASU with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology. This will be my 7th year teaching at Benchmark School. My first 6 years, I taught in our Pre-K program. I’ve been married 25 years, and I have three kids, Zack (24), Nate (21) and Kayli (16). I love being with my family, going to movies and spending time at our cabin in Munds Park. I love teaching little humans and can’t imagine doing anything else!!

Mrs. Ponter

Hello! I have spent the majority of my life in Arizona and call it home. This will be my 7th year teaching and second year teaching Kindergarten at Benchmark. I have a background in Special Education and have found a new love in Kindergarten. My husband Adam and I have been married for 12 years and we have our amazing Irish twin boys Judah (6) and Silas (5). I love spending time with my family, reading, hiking, and going on road trips. Kindergarten is such a blast and what a privilege and honor it is to be a part of such a fantastic team. Go Kindergarten!

Miss Rubenstein

Hey there! I’m Jaime Rubenstein, a kindergarten teacher from Boston who’s all about making learning fun and engaging. I studied Education at the University of Arizona, and I love bringing that energy into the classroom every day. When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me enjoying the great outdoors, reading a book, or hanging out with my two awesome cats, Cheddar and Nugget. I’m passionate about both my job and my downtime, and I’m always up for a new adventure!
