My name is Aaron Benes, and I'm very excited to be a part of Natural Science Academy. I grew up in Cambridge, Minnesota and graduated from St. John's University in 2006. I currently live in St. Paul MN, moving recently from Stillwater, where I had been teaching both 5th and 6th grade for three years prior to coming to NSA. I will be a grades 1-3 teacher here at Natural Science Academy.

In my free time I like to do anything outdoors. I also have one younger sister who just graduated from UW-Madison and is now teaching in South Korea. I look forward to working with both students and families of NSA!
