Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with a splash of color and creativity! Our Bonner Springs Elementary students have been creating beautiful Papel Picado banners in art class while learning about the cultural significance of this traditional Mexican folk art.
🎨🌳Our preschool students at Delaware Ridge are starting their tree study with some inspiration from Bob Ross! After watching a bit of his artistic magic, they spent some time outside painting their own interpretations of the tree line behind the school. These BRAVE young artists have talent!
Bonner Springs High School Diversity Ambassadors hosted the second annual metro area Diversity Conference yesterday, bringing together over 250 students and their teachers for a day of sharing, learning, and fun! Students from schools across Wyandotte, Johnson, Leavenworth, Shawnee, and Douglas Counties participated in sessions focused on different areas of diversity and inclusion, and shared ways they could make a difference in their own communities. Special keynote speaker Jermaine Wilson shared his story and encouraged students to embrace opportunity, use their voices, and be BRAVE in all that they do.
Fall is upon us and that means beautiful weather! Enjoy those crisp cool evenings with your very own BONNER SPRINGS BRAVES blanket. When you purchase a BRAVES blanket you are helping Project Graduation. Follow the link for more information: https://bit.ly/4ec2yoC
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 to the 2024 Bonner Springs High School Homecoming King and Queen…Hudson Razak and Maddy Maynard! 🧡🖤
We had the honor of surprising the district's two nominees for the Kansas Horizon Award in their classrooms today! Through reviewing staff, student, and parent feedback along with building administrator recommendations, the district selected Ali Mohney, FACS teacher at Clark Middle School, and Sarah Alas, 2nd grade teacher at Delaware Ridge Elementary, to represent USD 204 in the 2025 program. The Horizon Award, sponsored by the KS State Department of Education, identifies and recognizes representatives of excellent teaching in the elementary and secondary classrooms having completed their first year of teaching in a PreK-12 Kansas school. Congratulations to our BRAVE educators! Both are excellent representatives of their schools, our district, and the community.

Mr. Mackey, DRE Media Specialist, representing USD 204 on KSHB-41 news tonight during the back to school coverage!
"Back to School" holds a special meaning for some of our BRAVES! We have over 80 staff members who attended school in USD 204, and we were able to pull some of them together for a group photo at this year's Convocation. This is a testament to the strong sense of community and the lasting impact our district has on its students. A true reflection of the pride we all share in being part of the USD 204 family.
🎉 Exciting days ahead! Today we welcomed our BRAVE new Kindergarteners, 6th, and 9th graders for Orientation Day. Here's to new friends, big adventures, and an amazing school year!
