School Supplies for the 23-24 School year - From the Bonnie Brae PTO

It’s a win for everyone! www.campusurvivalkits.com/bonniebrae

Focus for the Week:  Review Character Strengths

Significance:  Reviewing the character strengths allows students to better understand why everyone is different and how to appreciate those differences.

A few amazing highlights that happened this week... Sixth Grade Promotion Ceremony

Our 6th grade promotion ceremony is scheduled for June 15, from 9-10 AM, in the BBES cafeteria.  We are excited to celebrate our 6th graders’ promotion to middle school!  Due to limited seating in the cafeteria, we are recommending up to two guests for each family.  Should we reach maximum capacity in the cafeteria, we will live stream the ceremony to the gymnasium for overflow viewing.  This is a special day for our 6th grade students and families, and we look forward to recognizing them on Thursday, June 15 from 9-10 AM!

BBES Field Day - Monday, June 12
