Hello, my name is Chelsey Bollman. I was hired as an RN for SCKSEC in February of this year. I’ve always had a passion for taking care of people. While growing up my grandmother, father, and mother all worked at the Harper Hospital. I grew up living in Danville Kansas, which was about 8 miles from town so both my sisters and I got to spend much time at the hospital or clinic waiting on rides, waiting for the pool to open, softball practice to start, or whichever other activity was going on in town. Both of my great grandmothers lived in the long term care wing of the hospital. I spent much time with my great grandmothers and the other residents while hanging out at the hospital waiting for rides, activities, etc. I believe this is where my passion for healthcare began. I worked as a CNA through high school then went on to Pratt Community College where I earned a degree in nursing. Since graduating in 2010 I have worked as an RN in long term care, hospital, ER, and have also fulfilled role as a wound care nurse. I am excited to be part of the SCKSEC team and look forward to learning an entire new aspect of nursing!

My husband and I have been married for 12 years. We were blessed with four children, Keaton, Eva, Sawyer, and Waylon. We live on my husbands family farm just south of Anthony. My husband is a farmer/rancher and according to him I run the funny farm. We have chickens, guineas, goats, hogs, a horse, four dogs, one cat, and expecting baby ducks any day now. I love them all! I would say that I live the simple life. I spend much of my free time with family and friends. My family and I are likely doing something outdoors whether it be, fishing, skeet shooting, golfing, volleyball, baseball, riding four wheelers, having a bonfire or barbeque. It is difficult to get away but when we do it is likely a lake trip with family and friends.

Hello, my name is Sammi Inman. My family and I live in Kiowa, KS. I am finishing up my 10th year with SCKSEC. This has been my 1st year as the Adaptive PE Teacher. Before that, I have been a SPED teacher in the classroom. I have worked with the Jr. High and Elementary school level, as well as, two years at the behavior school. I have a Bachelor's degree in Physical Education and a Master’s Degree in Special Education both at the Pre-K- 12 level. I also do some coaching at South Barber. I am the assistant HS volleyball coach and HS/MS assistant track coach.

I have been married for 10 years on May 21st. We have two boys. Dyson who is 8 and a half and River who is 3 and a half. They both keep me very busy. We all love spending time outdoors and hanging with friends. One of my favorite hobbies is gardening and doing crafts. I am looking forward to many more years as the adaptive pe teacher and working with our wonderful students and staff! Wishing everyone a Great Summer!!

My name is Laurie Harwood, or Ms. H, as the students call me. I have been at Haskins Learning Center for 2 years now. Working at Haskins has been the best decision I have made in my career. I know that I am in the right place. I was a classroom teacher for 27 years, an Instructional Math coach for 3 years, and a principal for 2 years, all in the Great Bend School District. I decided I was ready for a change and found this amazing opportunity. I still currently live in Great Bend and drive 53 miles daily. I believe in what the staff and I do at HLC. We are all here for the students. We are #haskinsstrong.

I have 3 children, Tyler (35), Mason (29), and Morgan (25). I also have two grandchildren, Eugene (8) and Hayden (10 months). I am very proud of my children. They have all graduated from college and have successful lives. I spend time with them whenever I get that chance.

Once again, I am glad that I am at SCKSEC doing this great work!

Comments from Staff:

"She is amazing she always has a lot on her plate and wears different hats but when it comes to her staff she always makes time for us especially when we need a shoulder to cry on. She is always encouraging us and the kids she is a light in a world of chaos."

"Laurie is genuine, Understanding, advocate, Dedicated, heartfelt and beautiful. I would have to say she is the first boss where I can be exactly who I am in the moment and having the weight of everyone's business on her shoulders she will stop and genuinely show concern and support you. She reminds me of how great I am because I forget so often. "

"Laurie pushes me to be a better educator and person. She helps to support me and my classroom, in all that we do. Laurie has spent countless hours helping me through my classwork and genuinely cares for her staff and students. HLC is blessed to have her as our leader. We love her so much."
