Hello there! My name is Brookstin Halma and I teach 1st grade here at Central Lyon. I started my career teaching Pre-school at Inwood Christian School for three years. I then began teaching at Central Lyon in 2019 and have taught grades Transitional Kindergarten through Second Grade. I have now landed in first grade! I have been blessed to get to experience teaching at different grade levels all while growing professionally. I also serve on the Literacy Committee and am excited to do my part in the research and piloting of a new curriculum for our students. 

I was born and raised in Sioux Center and graduated from Sioux Center High School. I then attended the University of Sioux Falls and graduated in 2016 with my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with endorsements pre-k/k and middle school. My family and I live in Inwood, a quick 25-minute drive away from school. My husband, Jordan, is part owner of Halma Construction and specializes in flat work and stamped concrete. We have three kids: Owen, is a first grader and Rylee is a kindergartener, both at West Lyon. Our son Cooper just turned 1 in September and keeps us on our toes!
