🎖️ 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. Special thanks to the Leavenworth High School Cavalry Angels and Pioneer Guard for their spectacular performance that added to the day's memorable celebrations! 🇺🇸 This was truly a special day for our students and staff.

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!
McDanield Preschool students, joined by the Bonner Springs High School Human Development class, attended story time at the Bonner Springs Library. Thank you to Ms. Lesley for sharing two wonderful stories and giving the students a preview of the upcoming Boo Bash!
SURVEY: We hope the new Rooms tool and USD 204 app have helped you stay connected! Your feedback is important to us and will help us improve as we move forward. If you've activated your guardian account on Rooms, please take a few moments to share your experience HERE: https://bit.ly/4dC9UR9
