Hi everyone! My name is Bonnie Smith, and I am so happy to be a part of the sixth grade ELA team at New Albany Intermediate. This will be my ninth year teaching. I am a graduate of The Ohio State University and hold a Bachelor of Science in Middle Childhood Education with a minor in Professional Writing. I am passionate about creating engaging learning activities and helping students find high-interest books.

My husband, Tom, and I live in Newark with our son, Aaron, who will be one in October. Tom is an assistant principal at Heath Middle School. When I’m not teaching, I can be found reading or playing with Aaron, thrifting for second-hand treasures, or working on a project for our mid-century house. I can’t wait to meet this new group of sixth graders, and I’m looking forward to a great year!
