My name is Anna Bents. I grew up on a farm in southern Minnesota, graduating from Granada-Huntley East Chain High School in 1998. I attended Southwest State University in Marshall, MN for two years and transferred to Minnesota State University, Mankato, graduating in 2003 with a Bachelors Degree in Education and a minor in Athletic Coaching. I earned my Masters Degree in Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Saint Mary's University in 2017.
I starting teaching at Armstrong Ringsted in the 2004-2005 school year and continued my teaching career there until the 2013-2014 school year, then known as North Union. I joined the Fairmont Area Schools teaching team in 2014!! I have taught first grade up to high school and have enjoyed and loved each level of students for many different reasons.
Teaching is my passion and I couldn't be happier doing that here at Fairmont Area Schools.
I have three children Ava (17), Owen (14), and Easton (8). They keep me very busy in my free time. Ian (my husband), Ava, Owen, Easton and I live on the lake in Fairmont, MN and enjoy any moments we all have together.
