Mónica Bonnell-Lene'
Third/Fourth Grades- (EC & 2nd-5th Grades Lead Teacher)

Tengo la suerte de formar parte de Kid Stars Rising Academy. Estoy muy emocionada de unirme a un equipo tan increíble y de trabajar con cada uno de ustedes y sus hijos.

It is my goal to educate, encourage, and love every child on an individual basis according to their academic needs in a way that will help them reach their goals and their full potential in all areas of the curriculum. 

I was lucky to attend Galveston University during my senior year of high school then transferred to graduate Lamar University in 2005 with a Bachelor Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. Having graduated top 1% of my class I was invited to pledge Kappa Delta Pi.  I have been an educator for 21 years collectively across the states of Texas, Louisiana, California, and North Carolina. 

For seven years I have worked at Morganton Road Elementary gaining experience in Kindergarten-3rd grades and was named Teacher of the Year in 2018. While working at Kid Stars Rising for the past three years, I was blessed to be named the Elementary Teacher of the Year for two consecutive years: 2022-2023, and 2023-2024, respectively.  

God has blessed me with my fiancée Jamie Scott, my son Lane, my adopted daughter Donna, three stepsons, Dolen, David and Adam, and a beautiful grandbaby named Landen. Thank you for welcoming me into the Academy. I am very grateful and super happy to continue this journey with you and your family.
