Rocking like a BOS!!🎸🎶
When students show interest in something, we make space for it!
Lately, guitars have been making their way into break time and the last hour of the day, with students teaching each other new chords and songs.
At this point, Sweet Child of Mine is officially the soundtrack of Bonnyville Outreach— and we’re not mad about it! 🎵😂
Here’s to learning, jamming, and making school a place where creativity thrives!
