Ms. Termini
Ms. Termini’s work with Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education, as well as with the Children’s Literacy Initiative, gave her the tools to pursue her career as a teacher. It also allowed her to utilize the arts to encourage literacy, help children better develop their fine motor skills, as well as find their own voices. Miss Termini received her Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts: Printmaking, Textiles, and Art History from the Kansas City Art Institute.
Ms. Termini has worked with several artists such as Island Press in St. Louis, Joan Hall, and Theaster Gates. She is very excited to be a part of the Bennett community and is looking forward to creating, playing, reading, and getting to know all of her students.
