💫A Note from the Principal |
Great afternoon, Bonlee families,
As we head into our Thanksgiving holiday break, I want to take a moment to share just how thankful I am for our entire school community. Each day, I see students who are growing, trying, questioning, and finding joy in learning. I see families who partner with us, show up for their children, and support our school in so many meaningful ways. And I see staff members who give their very best, pouring heart, skill, and dedication into every classroom, hallway, bus, and cafeteria.
Bonlee is a special place because of you.
Thank you for trusting us, supporting us, and being part of this incredible community. I hope the break brings rest, laughter, and moments of connection with the people you love.
We are grateful for you today and every day. 💛🧡
