Lynn Stanfield
My name is Lynn Stanfield. I am married and I have two children. I live in the McGees Crossroads community. I graduated from ECU with a Batchelor of Science in Elementary Education. I taught fourth grade for four years before becoming a mother. I was an at-home mom for several years and then reentered the teaching profession when my children were older. This is my eighth year teaching at Benson Elementary. I love teaching! It's exciting to guide children as they learn and grow! I look forward to working with you and your child this school year!

Updated COVID-19 Quarantine Guidance
There have been significant changes to the Strong Schools NC toolkit that affects the quarantine procedures our staff and students must follow if they are exposed to a positive case of COVID-19. Any student or staff member who is currently quarantined due to an exposure of a positive COVID-19 case may return to school or work tomorrow, unless the close contact is a housemate. We are able to make this adjustment because our district requires masks for all students, staff, and guests.
