Hello! My name is Lynn Brubaker, and I love teaching Second Grade at Bonfield Elementary. The 2022-2023 school year will mark my 11th year of teaching. I taught extended day kindergarten for one year, second grade for three years, first grade for one year, and now I'm back in second grade for my sixth year! Prior to teaching, I worked for many years in the public school system as a Reading Aide and a Paraeducator. These experiences, along with the support of my co-workers, friends, and family, inspired me to return to college to follow my dream of teaching! I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education from Millersville University in 2012 and my Masters of Science in Educational Development and Strategies from Wilkes University in 2016. I continue to grow and learn professionally by taking courses through Millersville University and University of LaVerne (CA).
My family and I live in Ephrata. I love to spend time with family and friends, volunteer in community events, and get lost in a good book or movie. My husband Dale works for the non-profit foundation at Lancaster Archery Supply. Our daughter Madison is a 2017 graduate of the George Washington University in Washington, DC. with a degree in psychology and minor in biology. She works at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health focusing on community health initiatives while pursuing her Masters in Public Health through George Washington University. Our son Ethan graduated from The American University in Washington, D.C. with a degree in political science and minor in law and justice. His love of politics has taken him to Nevada to work on the finance team of a political campaign. As a family, we enjoy spending time together laughing, watching movies, and seeing live stage productions. Of course, I must mention that we have three cats in our family, too: Lola, Jon, and Stormy.
I love getting to know the students in our classroom! Second grade will definitely be a year of growth. I am always so proud of all that they learn! Our classroom is full of smiles as students celebrate their efforts and achievements, as well as those of their classmates! We will frequently reference our class motto: We can do hard things.
Please feel free to contact me by calling the school (717-626-3705), writing a note, or by e-mailing me at lbrubaker@warwicksd.org. By working together, we can ensure that your child has a super and successful school year!
