Mrs. Browning and Ms. Guera’s kindergarten class took a tour around Ms. Imperato’s first grade class with their school counselor, Ms. Jeffries. Scotties were helping Scotties and so proud to show off their classroom to the rising first graders. It was such a magical time to see the children light up with one another.

When 6th grade Scotties get to turn Mrs. Falkenstein into a human ice cream sundae (Readathon prize)… she just goes with it!
Today’s lesson included:
Extra laughter
A mountain of whipped cream
Lots of sprinkles
…and one very good sport of a teacher!

About 40 Bonnie Brae students in grades K-6, along with many families and Robinson High School students planted our first native pollinator garden. It was a true community effort.
Many thanks to Inspire Wild Design for the garden design and guiding our planting efforts. Huge shout out especially to Bonnie Brae parent Katie Sivinsky who volunteered all year with the after-school EcoClub and was instrumental in getting the garden off the ground!

A huge shoutout to Ms. Shirey and Ms. Bauer’s fifth grade classes for earning a special Glow Party through our school Read-A-Thon!
