Mrs.Bendele
I started teaching at Akin Elementary in 2004.
This will be my 14 years.
I teach kindergarten.
Before teaching at Hale Center, I was a paraprofessional at La Mesa in Plainview, Texas
What really encouraged me to go to college we’re the people that I worked with at La Mesa.
They were the best new friends I could have. I was 42 and starting a new experience in a different profession.
It was the greatest idea I have every had for my life.
I have been married 44 years to a great man. My husband and I graduated from Hale Center. We have 3 children and they all went to school at Hale Center ISD. All my grandchildren are going or have gone to Hale Center as well.
I have 5 dogs and 4 cats. Also, a horse, a mini-horse and 7 goats. You might say I like animals.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy visiting with my children and grandchildren. I also have a great-grandchild his name is Hayden.
We love cooking out and enjoying laughing together. It gets kind of crazy when we are all together.
