Great afternoon, Bonlee families!

As we begin the second quarter, I’m so proud of how our students are growing, setting new goals, putting effort into their work, and supporting one another. This week, our 3rd–8th-grade Dragons will take their NC Check-Ins,  an important opportunity to demonstrate what they’ve learned and how far they’ve come. Let’s help them shine by encouraging good rest, healthy breakfasts, and positive mindsets each morning.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we’re helping every student Rise Above and Reach Higher the Bonlee way!

🎉 Celebrations at Bonlee! 🎉

It’s been another exciting week at Bonlee filled with learning, creativity, and school spirit!

🌎 2nd Grade wrapped up EL Module 1 with a School Around the World celebration. Students proudly shared their learning about diverse cultures and communities.

📚 K–1 students brought their favorite book characters to life during the Character Parade. What a joyful display of imagination and literacy!

🎭 3rd Grade celebrated their understanding of figurative language with an Idiom Celebration. It was “a piece of cake!”

🎵 Congratulations to Collin Palmer and Makenzie Gregory for being selected to the All-County Band! Your hard work and musical talent make us Dragon proud!

🗣️ A big thank you to our Student Council for stepping up to lead morning announcements. Great leadership in action!

👨‍👩‍🏫 We loved seeing our family volunteers reading with students in classrooms this week — thank you for sharing your time and helping our Dragons grow as readers!

✨We’ve officially started the 2nd Nine Weeks, and our students are meeting with teachers to reflect on progress, set new goals, and work hard to reach them!
