Adriana Bustillo, Kindergarten Teacher

abustillo@rca-csprings.org

My name is Adriana Bustillo and I am the new Kindergarten Lead Teacher at RCA. I am so happy to work for RCA. I love this place so much that I am at my 16th year here! Becoming a Kindergarten teacher was my dream since I was a little girl. Now that I have had the opportunity to work with Kindergarteners I know and feel that this is my calling.

I have obtained my Master's Degree in English as a Second Language, which has given me greater opportunities. This includes supporting our students at RCA, our students' parents, and other members of our community by teaching them English. Having the opportunity to teach K-5th grade and now adults is very exciting, but being able to see the results and growth in their academic learning is something that I would not change for the world!

I was born and raised in the beautiful state of Texas and moved to Colorado 22 years ago. I miss Texas so much that I always go back and visit twice a year because my Mom and Dad still live there. I love to spend time with my beautiful daughter Lisseth and my wonderful husband Pedro. I have no other family in Colorado, so we spend a lot of time together, things we love to do are going to the movies, camping, taking trips, and going to church with my daughter on Sundays! I also like to read, cook, and have get-togethers with friends on weekends!

My name is Dawn Means and I am a Kindergarten teacher here at RCA.  I have two beautiful daughters, three amazing grandchildren, and a cat named Charlie.  Both my daughters and two of my grandchildren have or are attending RCA and we love this school!  I have worked at RCA for over 20 years, first as a para, and now as a first year teacher.  I enjoy spending time with my family and reading when I am not at school.

Greg Benton, Kindergarten Teacher

My name is Greg Benton and I am new to Roosevelt for the 2025/2026 school year. I am so excited to join this wonderful school and community. I have been teaching for seven years and working with kids is my true passion and purpose. This is my first year teaching kindergarten and I am truly excited for the opportunity to grow as a teacher and to get to know every student and parent in our school community. I have lived in the Pikes Peak region for over 25 years and giving back to this wonderful community fills my heart with joy!

I earned my Bachelor's Degree from UCCS in Inclusive Studies and then I went on to attain a Master's Degree in Trauma Informed teaching practices through Concordia University- Portland. I am a lifelong learner and I hope to impart this aspect of myself onto any child I am so fortunate to get to work with. School is cool! The opportunity to work with younger children allows me to continue my journey towards becoming the best teacher I can be to serve my community.

I have an amazing wife and two lovely children. Other than teaching, my family is the most important thing to me. I love going on family vacations, spending time in the gym exercising with my kids and wife, and I also love movies! When I am not working, I can be found on a local trail with my dog, or relaxing at home and watching a movie with my incredible family. I am honoured to join the Roosevelt family and to get to serve the students and parents of our school.
