A Note from the Principal

Dear Bonlee Families,

What an exciting and inspiring week it has been at Bonlee! Our BMX LiveSchool Celebration had students cheering with excitement, and our Fall Festival brought over 360 Dragons and families together for a night full of fun, laughter, and community. Thank you to everyone who joined in the celebration and to our amazing PTA and volunteers who made it all possible. Teamwork!

In our classrooms, students are working hard, collaborating in small groups, building confidence in math and reading, and showing creativity through writing. We are proud of the effort, focus, and joy our students bring to learning each day.

Thank you, families, for your continued partnership and encouragement. Your involvement truly helps our Dragons ELEVATE rising higher, reaching further, and shining brighter every week!
