Meet the Teachers  at New Burlington Elementary- CLOSED (Cincinnati, Ohio)

Mrs. Benjamin Hello, My name is Mrs. Benjamin. I teach art to over 350 children and love it! Art is in my soul and it is such a joy to share this with children. When I was a young girl I would spend hours cutting pictures out of magazines and gluing them into my notebooks. These pictures helped to give me ideas of what to draw.
