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.  Last year I taught SEI right here at Mariposa.  I live in Warner Ranch and both my sons (now ages 22 and 16) 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.
