My name is Mrs. Auffert and I'm a 6th-grade literacy teacher at Ballard Middle School!
I was born and raised in Denison, Iowa. After high school, I went on to receive a Bachelor's Degree in Education and a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instructional Technology from the University of Northern Iowa.
I've been working in the Ballard District since 2014, and I'm very proud to be a Bomber! My experiences including teaching 6th-grade literacy, science, and math and have also had the honor of serving as the instructional coach at Ballard High School from 2016-2020. I've coached junior high softball, basketball, and JV soccer for the Ballard Bombers, but took a break from my coaching role when I became a mom!
My husband, Kyle, and I live in Huxley with our 2 boys, Easton and Nolan, and our dog, Kacie! Our family loves spending time at lake Okoboji, going to country concerts, and cheering on the Chiefs and Hawkeyes!
