Our Team

Media Specialist:  Melissa Mills

My name is Melissa Mills.  I am the media specialist at Bonner.  Before becoming a media specialist, I was a classroom teacher and taught a variety of grade levels.  I live in the local area with my husband and three children.  My family and I enjoy traveling, playing games, and watching movies.  When instructing students in the library, I enjoy helping students find books they are passionate about reading, helping them become responsible digital citizens, introducing them to novel engineering, running the news crew, and instructing the robotics team.     

Media Assistant:  Krystal Kinard

My name is Krystal Kinard.  My husband and I have been married for 12 years and have two sons ages 11 and 9.  I have been working at HBE for 4 years as a substitute teacher and I am excited to join the team as the Media Assistant for HBE.  When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time with my family.  We enjoy fishing, swimming, and hiking.  I am an active member of my local church as well.  As a member of the local community, I enjoy working with children from the surrounding area and watching them learn and grow.  I am looking forward to a wonderful school year.
