Head Start had their field trip today! We visited the Kerby Farm Pumpkin Patch. The kids had the best time and got to take home a pumpkin that was just their size. Enjoy your break, Head Start!

Head Start just finished up our unit on insects! We watched caterpillars as they grew, built their cocoons, and emerged as butterflies. Yesterday we were able to let our butterflies fly free. What a cool experience! 🦋

🎙️ New Episode of Talk 204! Superintendent Rick Moulin sits down with longtime Bonner Springs leader Dr. Jerry Abbott—retiring after years of dedicated service to USD 204 and the Bonner Springs/Edwardsville Education Foundation—and Lisa Terrell, a proud BSHS alum who has dedicated more than three decades to supporting students as a beloved counselor and is now stepping into her new role as Foundation Director. Together, Rick, Jerry, and Lisa reflect on decades of shared commitment to students and the community. They talk about the Foundation’s incredible growth under Dr. Abbott’s leadership, the power of giving back, and how community support continues to open doors for USD 204 students. It’s a heartfelt conversation about legacy, leadership, and the enduring spirit that makes Bonner Springs and Edwardsville such special places to call home. 🧡🖤 🔗 https://rss.com/podcasts/talk204/2264249/
