Teacher Information

My name is Carolyn Bonamo and I am thrilled to be teaching third grade at Mariposa.  I have been an employee of the Kyrene School District since 1999 spending much of my time guest teaching at Mariposa while my children were younger. This is my second year teaching 3rd grade in room 36. Previously,  I taught SEI right here at Mariposa.  I live in Chandler and both my sons (now ages 23 and 17) were students at Mariposa.

I absolutely love to teach and believe very strongly in a fair, well structured, and fun learning environment.  Communication is of the utmost importance, so I want to encourage you to email me with any concerns or questions.
