Williston Basin School District #7

Hi! My name is Kenzi Brown, WBSD #7 Business Education Teacher & PreK Director. This is my 6th year teaching for the school district and have had the honor of coaching HS volleyball, basketball, sitting on various school and community committee's. I played basketball and volleyball at University of Colorado Colorado Springs where I received my Bachelor's in Business Administration and Master's in Education Administration. My husband, Matt Brown, and I moved to Williston in 2017 and quickly fell in love with the community and welcoming people here. I am very passionate about bettering public education for all students, and believe that starts at birth and that each child should get the opportunity for an early childhood education experience. Our teachers and paras in the Future Coyotes program are committed to this philosphy and working hard to ensure kindergarten readiness, while still making learning FUN! My favorite book right now is Dr. Seuss's Fox in Socks, because that is the book my daughter picks out every night to read together. It usually changes weekly 😉 

My husband and I started Coyote Pups Learning Den 3 years ago when we knew we wanted to start our family here and wanted them to have a safe and educational environment. With the help of 2 wonderful directors, Abby Brown and Taylor Riveland, and an amazing team of teachers; I am still able to work full time for WBSD#7 and send my own 2 kiddos to Coyote Pups each day knowing they are in the best hands. Corbyn (2) and Carter (5 months) are the main spotlight in our lives right now. We enjoy taking them to community events, swimming, the park, and just enjoying time together as a family. 

I look forward to the future of WBSD#7 and am hopeful for the direction we are going. Thank you to our district staff and community members who work hard each day to make sure our students are receiving the education they deserve, I am honored to be a part of the first ever Future Coyotes PreK Program! 

Hi! My name is Dusti Seidel. I am born and raised in Williston, and have survived 25 long, cold winters here. I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Early Childhood Education just this year, but had my alternate access license to teach 2nd grade last year! This is my 2nd year teaching, and I have loved every minute.  I have always had a passion for early education, and feel lucky to be one of the teachers for our first year of Pre-K in the district! Along with teaching, I have taught jazz, tap, and ballet at Studio 89 for the last 4 years and I love spending my evenings at the studio getting my creativity going. You can also find me at Lonnie’s Roadhouse Café, I just started waitressing there.

My favorite book right now (and really, since I can remember) is Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. My mom would read it to me as a kid every night, and I have always loved it. I can’t wait to see the future of Future Coyotes Pre-K and look forward to helping these kiddos learn and grow!

Hi, my name is Barbie and I moved to Williston a little over one year ago from California. I have 3 children of my own: Kaydee (13), Anthony (11), and Benjamin (5 months) and two others: Maya (10) lives with me, and Manny (12) lives with his mom in California. I

I have my bachelor's in education and knew that I wanted to be a teacher since I was little. When I was younger, I had an Aunt who was a kindergarten teacher and I spent many summers helping her set up and prep for the year. 

My favorite book is the first book I learned how to read, Teddy Bear's Picnic. Truthfully, by read I mean sing as it came with a cassette that sang the book to you.
