Ms. Benson

Hello, I am excited to be here on the Silver Lake Kindergarten Team as a  Kindergarten Teacher for my fourth year.  I have previously taught preschool, kindergarten, and first grade.  I love to help foster and encourage the love of learning in each student.  I also want each student to feel needed, special, and safe.


I enjoy working with parents. We can't do this without you! Please feel free to come and volunteer.  It’s so fun to watch the growth and success of each one of your children.  Together we can make a difference.


When I am not at school, I love to spend time with my 6 children, a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law, and my 4 grandchildren.  I also love reading, crafting, watching movies, and relaxing.


I look forward to working with you and your student this next year.  Together we will meet your student's needs, have fun, and see success.  See you in the fall.

Mrs. Cherry

Hi, my name is Mrs. Cherry.  This will be my fifth year teaching kindergarten at Silver Lake Elementary.  I have previously taught kindergarten, first grade, art and computers for Jordan School District.  I love to integrate theatre, visual art, dance and music into my daily lessons.  I think kindergarten is a magical year.  I often get emotional at the end of the year when I compare my students beginning of year data to their end of year data.  It is an absolute pleasure to watch the students learn and grow each year.      

When I am not playing school my husband and I love to be outside.  We have four dogs!  We have our "Golden Girls" Shasta (Chocolate Lab) and Sophie May (Miniature Dachshund). Then we have our "Young & Restless Pups" Nelli Be (German Shorthair Pointer) and Sadie Ann (Yellow Lab).

I am excited to meet your kids.  Did you know the 2024-2025 kindergarten class will be the graduating class of 2037?

Hello! My name is Mrs. Dupaix. I am so excited to join the kindergarten team this year.  I taught 3rd grade for 9 years and 1st grade for one year. I love to integrate science and social studies into my lessons.  I also believe in lots of movement in class and having fun.  I am so excited to meet my new students!

When I'm not at school I love spending time with my family. I have 5 kids, 3 of which are married.  I have 1 granddaughter who is the best!  We love to get together and play games, go to the lake, go hiking, and laugh.  I love reading and gardening.  I have 3 dogs - Ollie the crazy, Winston the old man, and Gus the cat.

Mrs. Johnson

Hello everyone, my name is Rachael Johnson. This is my second year at Silver Lake Elementary and I love kindergarten! For the 2023-24 school year, I will be teaching morning and afternoon kindergarten. My favorite part of teaching is helping students become confident enthusiastic learners.

I am married and have three awesome kids that are all taller than me. We have a small chihuahua named Mititi that is super silly and loves to sing the ABC's! I enjoy gardening, hiking, kayaking, dancing and playing at the lake.  At school I love signing and moving as we learn our letters and numbers. I'm so excited to meet all of our new kindergartners!
