On Friday we had our grandparents come to Head Start to get a glimpse of our day to day classroom life. We also put on a fashion show to close out our clothing unit. We had so much fun walking that runway!

In the center, there is an illustration of a red vintage car with a man and woman in silhouette sitting inside, framed by a yellow circle suggesting a sunset. The word “GREASE” appears boldly across the car in stylized black-and-white lettering with a comb in the letter “G.” Text on the poster reads: “Bonner Springs High School Presents GREASE.

Last week we went on an adventure to the library! We walked from Head Start to the Bonner Springs City Library for a story time. The kids got to look at their artwork that is on display there (go check it out!) and took a trip through the "spook house."

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/

Superintendent Moulin came to read to our students today! They loved having a new reader and got to hear a story about how a dinosaur goes to school and a super silly one about a Wonky Donkey! They even got some bonus tips on how to have a successful year. Thank you, Mr. Moulin!
