Hello Bonneville Families!
Congratulations to our 6th grade students for donating the most money to our PTA Fundraiser. They earned the pizza party today during 7th period. Thank you, thank you for your generosity. The PTA raised just over $1000! Please remember that next week is a short week…school only on Monday and Tuesday. Both days are full days…NO EARLY OUT on Tuesday.
We are getting to that “midterm grind” of quarter 2. Please encourage your students to get some rest, eat well, and be prepared for school. Having a charged chromebook and proper school supplies is a must for each school day. Discuss with your students regularly the skills necessary to be successful at school.
Thank you for all you do to help make Bonneville such a great place. I truly hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Debate Club
If your student is interested in learning the art of Debate…please encourage them to get involved. Debate will begin on Thursday, November 30th after school in Room 125 with Ms. James. Please see Ms. James for more information.
