Mrs. Bonefas

I was born and raised in Independence and have lived in Independence most of my life. (I lived in Colorado for 3 short

years in Junior High). I've always known I wanted to be a teacher and I have always loved school! I believe we aren't ever done learning. I had such a wonderful school experience at Independence, which helped carve me into the teacher I am today! In my free time I enjoy reading, watching movies, gathering with friends and spending quality time with family! My

husband Jeff and I have two amazing children, Brynn and Jacob!
