Sad news from Burton HS

Over the weekend, we received the sad news that Ms. Bonnie Hansen, a popular science teacher at Burton HS, was killed in a motorcycle accident on Dec. 19. A letter from Burton's principal directing students, parents and community members to grief counseling resources is posted on the school's web site, and more information will be posted as it comes in.

According to a short news item in the Chronicle, Ms. Hansen was 45. The web site for Burton's science department says Ms. Hansen grew up in Anaheim, California, and attended UC Santa Cruz where she received a BA in Biology. She also received an MA in physiology and teaching credential at SFSU. She taught Physiology, Marine Science and Health Education, and said she wanted her students to achieve "an open mind and a career they are truly passionate about."

I taught at Burton HS for 8 years. Bonnie was a great colleague and an awesome teacher. Her students truly loved her. She will be missed.
