LaTonya Thomas
My name is LaTonya Thomas and I have been teaching for 8 years. I enjoy working at Benson Elementary School and am very blessed to be a part of this great school community. I love my job and all my students. I have always wanted to be a teacher and make a difference in a child's life. God has blessed me with two handsome young men; whom are my pride and joy. I graduated from Mount Olive University of Wilmington with a B-K degree.
