Kendall Malmberg
Hi! My name is Kendall Malmberg and I am one of the new Special Education teachers at Eastview Elementary. I am a Western Illinois University graduate and this fall will mark my 9th year of teaching. This will also by my 7th year coaching volleyball. My husband Dane and I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter named Karsyn and a 4 year old yellow lab named Tybee. During my free time I enjoy reading a good book or playing volleyball. Over the summer you can find me at the lake paddleboarding or swimming with the family! I look forward to meeting everyone this year! =]
Kylee Bales
Hi Everyone —
I am Mrs. Bales and will be joining the 1st grade team at Eastview this year. I am so excited to be a part of the Canton district and get to meet new students and their families!
I attended Western Illinois University where I got my degree in Elementary Education. After I graduated, I got a job where I taught Kindergarten for the past 5 years. I love working with young students and seeing their growth throughout the school year. I enjoy incorporating fun into learning!
I currently live in Farmington with my husband and our new daughter, Landree. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also love watching sports, especially the Chicago Cubs.
I look forward to spending the school year learning and growing with all of you at Eastview!

Lauren Wilcoxen
Hello! My name is Lauren Wilcoxen and I will be teaching Kindergarten music for the Canton school district and pre-k through 4th grade music for the Cuba school district this year. I received my bachelors degree from Western Illinois University in K-12 vocal/general music in December of 2012. This will be my 7th year teaching music. In January of this year, I decided to go back to further my education and began a masters program through WIU in educational leadership. When I’m not at school, my family keeps me very busy. My husband, John, is very active with the Canton wrestling program. Our daughter, Hayley, is 3 and keeps us on our toes. I love music, all things Disney, movies, American sign language, reading, and coffee. My love for coffee is so real, you may occasionally see me working at my favorite coffee shop, Black Maple, on weekends and during the summer. I’m excited to start this new teaching journey back in the town I live in and love.
Melissa Scott
Hello Eastview families! My name is Melissa Scott and I am joining the kindergarten team this year while filling in for Mrs. Juliusson. I am an Illinois State University graduate and received my degree in 2009, though this will be my first year teaching. During these 10 years I was so lucky to have been able to stay at home raising my four kids. My oldest, Marlee, is 10 and starting middle school this year at Ingersoll. Jackson is 8 and going to be in third grade, and Taylor and William are 5 year old twins who will be starting kindergarten this year at Eastview. They are all active in different sports and activities and at any given time you might see my husband Nick and I trying to cart them around in all different directions trying to get them where they need to be. When I'm not running a taxi service for the kids you will most likely find me reading, cooking, gardening, or spending time outside.
