🎖️ Today, Bonner Springs High School proudly honored our veterans with a special breakfast and assembly, hosted by the BSHS Diversity Ambassadors. We were honored to have Lt. Colonel Tysen Pina as our guest speaker, celebrating those who have served in the military and recognizing the educators making a difference in our schools. During the event, we were proud to recognize staff members who are veterans from across our district, along with parents and community members who served, joining us for this meaningful celebration.

🪨🍬 6th grade science took a sweet trip through the rock cycle with Airheads in "Airhead Valley"! Starting as igneous rocks, students ripped up their Airheads to create "sediment," compacted and cemented it into sedimentary rocks, then added heat to transform them into metamorphic rocks! Hands-on (and tasty) science at its best! 🔥
Happy Halloween, BRAVES! After a day of learning and treats, we hope you have a fun evening. Remember to stay safe, stick with a group, and watch for traffic. No school tomorrow -- we will see you on Monday! 🧡🖤

USD 204 is proud to partner with the Bonner Springs Edwardsville Area Chamber of Commerce to celebrate our amazing educators! 🌟 Each month, one outstanding teacher will be honored at the Chamber luncheon for their dedication and positive impact on our schools, students, and community. We’re excited to announce the first award of the 2024-25 school year goes to Dawn Sommers! 🎉
Dawn, a FACS (Family and Consumer Sciences) teacher at Bonner Springs High School, brings 20 years of experience as a technical designer in the fashion industry to her role. Now in her 13th year at BSHS, she has taught everything from culinary arts to fashion and interior design. She also played a key role in establishing the Fashion Apparel Interior Design pathway at BSHS after helping set up the new pathway at the state level.
Her decision to transition to teaching came from a desire to guide and support students, especially those needing extra encouragement. "I decided to transition into teaching so I could help many kids who needed direction, and someone in their corner, and to teach them how to survive in this world with real-life skills." Dawn recently earned her food service certification, allowing USD 204 to offer students the chance to gain their own certifications before graduating. 🎓
Dawn was presented with her Teacher of the Month award at the recent Chamber luncheon. A big thank you to our local businesses and community supporters for honoring our teachers and bridging the gap between school and community! 🧡 Stay tuned as we recognize more amazing educators throughout the year!
Our Edwardsville Elementary 3rd graders have been diving into hands-on learning! They explored force and motion by experimenting with different objects and materials.
