Mona Niehaus taught 1st and 3rd Grade for 29 years, mostly at Blenman Elementary, and helped to elevate that school to A+ status. Upon retirement, Mona became an A+ traveler, and 17 journeys to Europe later, she won the “Timeless Traveler Award” from the UA Alumni Association. Best of all, Mona was an A+ mother.
