Mrs. Tandis Boynton was born in Fremont, California, and grew-up there with her brother. If Tandis could live anywhere in the world, it would be on the coast because, "I love the ocean and the beach!" She assists and substitute teaches at LCA because she has a heart for the children, and truly enjoys having an impact on their lives. In her spare time, Tandis enjoys reading and spending quality time with her family. She is married to Aaron, and they have four wonderful children: AJ, Thomas, Chase and Abby.
