Welcome to first grade! I am excited to have your child in my class this school year!

I look forward to building a classroom environment where all students feel safe, welcome, and encouraged to take chances in their academic and personal growth. I look forward to a year full of learning, while also having lots of fun!

A little bit about me:

I earned my undergraduate degree from Azusa Pacific University in 2022 and will graduate from APU with my Masters of Education degree this fall. I am passionate about teaching younger generations and inspiring each child to believe they can achieve great things.

I am newly engaged and my fiancé, Ryan, and I are looking forward to getting married next summer! In my free time I love to be outdoors at the beach, hiking, or playing pickleball.

I am looking forward to an amazing year! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns through email at samantha_bonaldo@etiwanda.org.
