My name is Bridget Speer and I serve as the Teacher Librarian for the district as well as working with the Talented and Gifted program. I grew up in northeast Iowa on a dairy farm and I wrote a book about dairy farming as part of my Master's research project. In my free time, I quilt, read, and enjoy spending time outdoors with my 3 children camping, biking, and gardening.

I am in my second year as Tanager’s Engagement Specialist at Keystone Elementary. I have loved the opportunity to collaborate with the Tanager staff as well as Benton Community in order to best support students. When I am not at Keystone, I can be found doing homework for my Master’s Degree in Social Work or playing Frisbee with my puppy, Paisley.
