Following conferences, we invite all families and community members to join us in celebrating our boys basketball team and their state championship!
Celebration Schedule:
5:30 PM – Parade from McDanield Learning Center to the BSHS campus
Immediately following the parade – Hot dogs and water will be available
6:00 PM – Short celebration in the Braves Fieldhouse
We hope you can join us for both conferences and this exciting community celebration!
Students were tested with isometric belt squats and FitLights for reaction time (as pictured), but also grip strength, reach, lateral jump and other challenges across two different sessions. The initiative is led by the Jayhawk Athletic Performance Laboratory (JAPL), and overall, the research conducted is helping to better understand long-term athlete development across different ages and sports.
They toured CST Sweets and enjoyed some yummy treats, got a close up look at the flower shop, coffee shop, and a set of apartments still in the construction phase.
The students also visited Captain Pate at the police station and enjoyed a picnic lunch.
Finally, they cooled off with an ice cream cone from Dairy Queen! It was a great way for our preschoolers to view a variety of buildings and partner with local businesses!
Last night, several members of the USD 204 school nurses staff attended the Bonner Springs City Council meeting and were awarded funding by the Drug and Alcohol Advisory Committee to replace ALL AEDs in the district with new, up-to-date, technology!
USD 204, and especially our nursing staff, would like to thank the City of Bonner Springs, the Drug and Alcohol Advisory Committee, and Bonner Springs Fire Department Chief James Zeeb for their consideration and assistance with this funding request to help better protect our students, staff, and community with up-to-date AEDs.
Pictured are Kristi Flack (Delaware Ridge Nurse), Chief James Zeeb (Fire Chief, Bonner Springs Fire Department), Kimberly Bolewski (USD 204 Nurse Coordinator), Brittney Atwood (Bonner Springs High School Nurse, USD 204 CPR Program Coordinator).
At 5:30 p.m., there will be a small parade from McDanield Learning Center up Kump Avenue to Bonner Springs High School.
After the parade, the Bonner Springs Edwardsville Area Chamber of Commerce and several local businesses will provide hot dogs and water for attendees - and the Winkle Berry truck will be on-site, too!
Around 6 p.m., all are invited to gather in the PE Center/Braves Fieldhouse for a short celebration featuring the coaches, players, and special guests! The team will also be available for autographs and photos after the celebration!
Make plans to join us in celebrating this historic moment together!
Hello Braves families,
We’re excited to share that championship merchandise is now available for purchase!
The shop owner has generously offered to donate $2 from every item sold to support Orange Crush for next year. These funds will help cover student entry to away games and provide opportunities for students who may not otherwise be able to participate in Orange Crush.
Thank you for supporting our students and helping us continue to build school spirit!
Go Braves!

Did you know 1984 was also the year of the original Orange Crush? (Before that, the group was called Bleacher Creatures!)
The Bonner Springs High School concert band is heading to Branson to be the opening band for the Grand Shanghai Circus! Thursday morning they held their final rehearsal in the BSHS auditorium.
They have been fundraising over the last year to make this trip and will get a clinic with a great music educator to improve their band skills. And, of course, they will get to experience Silver Dollar City, see a few shows, enjoy some good cuisine, and spend some time enjoying Branson's entertainment over spring break!
Congratulations to Superintendent Rick Moulin as he was awarded the NAACP Louisa Fletcher Excellence in Education Award for 2026!
Mr. Moulin was recognized for the following:
"Rick has grown up in this community since third grade, graduating from BSHS in 1990. He has contributed to our education system as a student, teacher, principal and superintendent, and continues to use his expertise to support its development. He has been an advocate for diversity in our schools and our community. As a BS NAACP member, he has shown his support each year for the Freedom Fund banquet, by grilling at Tiblow Days, and at the State NAACP meetings hosted by Bonner Springs, he has given the greeting addressing the support of NAACP's principles and goals. Rick is an excellent role model."
Mrs. Fletcher was an advocate for the rights of African Americans not only in this community, but at the state and national levels as well. Since 2017, BS NAACP has given a Louisa Fletcher "Excellence in Education" award.
Congratulations to our Braves boys basketball team on their win tonight! Next, they will travel to Wichita State University to play at Koch Arena this Thursday night, March 12, at 8 p.m. for the semifinal round of the KSHSAA 5A State Tournament!
Because the team is advancing and we anticipate many families traveling to Wichita to support the team Thursday evening, the BSHS and CMS Family Engagement Nights will be postponed. Originally scheduled for this Thursday, they will now be moved to Thursday, March 26th from 3:30 - 7:30 p.m. (The BSHS band pre-festival solo and ensemble recital already scheduled for March 26th will continue as scheduled at 7 p.m.)
Elementary school conferences will still take place on Thursday, March 12. If an elementary teacher would like to attend the state basketball tournament they will be allowed to do so. If elementary students are impacted because a staff member is not available Thursday evening, individual teachers will reach out to reschedule parent teacher conferences. Along that same line, if your family is planning to cheer on the Braves in Wichita Thursday night, please just contact your child’s teacher to reschedule your conference appointment.
Thank you for your understanding, and please join us in cheering on our Braves as they continue their season!

Dear Seniors and Families,
We know this time of year is busy, but we truly need your help. Project Grad doesn’t happen without the support of senior families, and right now we still have Super Bowl squares available that directly fund this safe, memorable celebration for your class. It’s $20 per square, with half going to event costs and half to game payouts, and every single purchase makes a real difference. If you’ve been meaning to contribute but haven’t yet, please consider doing so now — our seniors deserve a great night, and we can only make that happen together.
Super Bowl squares are simple and fun: once all squares are sold, numbers 0–9 are randomly assigned to each team, and winners are determined by the last digit of each team’s score at the end of each quarter and the end of regulation. For example, if you have 6 and 7 for the two teams and the score is 16 to 27, you win. We plan to draw numbers on Saturday evening once all squares are sold, so it’s important to get your square purchased as soon as possible.
To buy a square, you can pay via Venmo (@HCampbell03), CashApp ($shcampbell03) or send $20 to BSHS with your Senior. An updated board with names will be available for viewing and purchasing squares at Friday night's home basketball games. If you have any questions, contact Heather Campbell (campbellh@usd204.net).
Updated Board
Thank you for supporting Project Grad,
