Ms. Ahart
Welcome students and families!
My name is Ms. Haley Ahart. I am one of the speech therapists at Bonner. I am a proud graduate of Stewartville High School. I started working at Bonner Elementary in 2021. I received my Bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Wisconsin - River Falls and my Master's degree from the University of Minnesota Duluth. I love spending time with my friends, family, and, especially, my dog named Cooper. I cannot wait to meet everyone! Go Tigers!
