Academic Awards: If you were not able to attend this morning’s academic award, please see Mrs. Bear
My name is Tara Bonewitz and I am a 3rd Grade Teacher at Keystone Elementary. I have taught for 27 years and 24 of those have been here at Benton. I started my teaching career at Keystone Elementary as a Special Education Teacher and then transferred to 3rd Grade. I live in Keystone with my husband Mike and daughter Kaitlyn, who is a Sophomore at Benton. Our son Keaton and daughter Makenna are also Benton graduates. Benton has been a great place to work and raise our children. When I’m not in the classroom, I love spending time outdoors, gardening, boating, cheering Kait on in her activities, and spending time with family and friends.
