Allison Marsh

Allison (Ally) is entering her ninth year of teaching at Bennett Day School. She is thrilled to be teaching 2nd grade where she enjoys the rich and, often, hilarious conversations as well as diving deep into content with students. Upon graduating from Indiana University with her bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a Reading License addition, she returned home to Ann Arbor, Michigan to begin her teaching career. After some time spent teaching in public schools and more progressive environments, she moved to Chicago to expand her horizons and found the warm, energizing, and forward-thinking community of Bennett Day.

Along with being a teacher, Allison spends her time with her husband and two kids, working on their home in Park Ridge, and enjoying all the great parks and restaurants in the area. Each new school year is an adventure and she looks forward to a new year of learning and growing with her students.
