Did you know 1984 was also the year of the original Orange Crush? (Before that, the group was called Bleacher Creatures!)

Bonner Springs Elementary 4th grade students hosted a Wax Museum yesterday! The students researched a famous Kansan and presented speeches about their life. Parents, students, and teachers from each grade level came to watch and support the students.

Congratulations to Superintendent Rick Moulin as he was awarded the NAACP Louisa Fletcher Excellence in Education Award for 2026!

Mr. Moulin was recognized for the following:
"Rick has grown up in this community since third grade, graduating from BSHS in 1990. He has contributed to our education system as a student, teacher, principal and superintendent, and continues to use his expertise to support its development. He has been an advocate for diversity in our schools and our community. As a BS NAACP member, he has shown his support each year for the Freedom Fund banquet, by grilling at Tiblow Days, and at the State NAACP meetings hosted by Bonner Springs, he has given the greeting addressing the support of NAACP's principles and goals. Rick is an excellent role model."

Mrs. Fletcher was an advocate for the rights of African Americans not only in this community, but at the state and national levels as well. Since 2017, BS NAACP has given a Louisa Fletcher "Excellence in Education" award.

Congratulations to our Braves boys basketball team on their win tonight! Next, they will travel to Wichita State University to play at Koch Arena this Thursday night, March 12, at 8 p.m. for the semifinal round of the KSHSAA 5A State Tournament!

Because the team is advancing and we anticipate many families traveling to Wichita to support the team Thursday evening, the BSHS and CMS Family Engagement Nights will be postponed. Originally scheduled for this Thursday, they will now be moved to Thursday, March 26th from 3:30 - 7:30 p.m. (The BSHS band pre-festival solo and ensemble recital already scheduled for March 26th will continue as scheduled at 7 p.m.)

Elementary school conferences will still take place on Thursday, March 12. If an elementary teacher would like to attend the state basketball tournament they will be allowed to do so. If elementary students are impacted because a staff member is not available Thursday evening, individual teachers will reach out to reschedule parent teacher conferences. Along that same line, if your family is planning to cheer on the Braves in Wichita Thursday night, please just contact your child’s teacher to reschedule your conference appointment.

Thank you for your understanding, and please join us in cheering on our Braves as they continue their season! 

Today, we were proud to honor John Mackey, Library Media Specialist at Delaware Ridge Elementary, as the March Bonner Springs/Edwardsville Chamber of Commerce Teacher of the Month!

With a decade of service in USD 204, John has become a cornerstone of his school’s learning community. Through his role as Library Media Specialist, he inspires a love of reading and digital literacy, helping students grow into curious, confident, and capable learners.

John’s leadership extends beyond the library. He is an active Building Leadership Team Member, sponsor of the Braves News Network student news team, and advisor to the Student Ambassadors, a leadership group of fifth graders who model positive citizenship and service.

He seamlessly blends technology, storytelling, and leadership development, empowering students to find their voices and contribute meaningfully to their school community.

John’s energy, creativity, and commitment to student growth make him an invaluable part of Delaware Ridge Elementary. Congratulations, Mr. Mackey!
