My heart is so full after seeing the hard work these kiddos put into their performance today! I am so grateful for the love and support that they received. Thank you for joining us, and great job 3Z! 😊
We had the most magical visitor today in our classroom! G Wiz is a Chemistry Professor at the University of Montana who dedicates his life to teaching students magic through chemistry! It was beyond amazing. Thank you to Jaxsin for gifting us a show with the famous wizard! 🧙♂️ 🧪💫 🪄
It's time for the Montana Meme-ory Contest! The State Library holds this every May using historic Montana photos. Bonner students have taken 1st place and 2nd place in the past. How will we fare this year? Here are some middle school creations made with community collections!
TKC had the best May Day!
Bonner Families: A friendly reminder, no school for students on Monday, May 5th. See you all Tuesday, May 6th for a regular schedule!
Bonner Families:

We can’t wait to see you all there!
—Thank you, Bonner PTA
TKM have been making journal entries! They are doing AMAZING!
Middle school band students played the theme to "Bluey" over the school intercom for some morning music with our announcements last week! It was fun to hear students throughout the school saying the cartoon character names with the song! We have also been busy preparing for spring concerts (Which will be happening on May 28th. ) Here are some photos of third grade students learning various rhythms on the drums.
The second grade classes took a field trip to the Missoula Butterfly House & Insectarium. After learning about pollinators all week, we got to observe many of them and take our questions to the experts. We were also able to hang out with the Bug Ambassadors and fill out our own observation journals.
I just want to send a huge shout out to my marketing students and our great community for coming together to make our birdhouse project a huge success. My marketing class wanted to take ownership in something they were passionate about, and through their hard work they were able to contribute $1000 toward this cause. The birdhouse alone brought in a whopping $770 dollars, and from money earned through our market we rounded up.
I also want to thank all those that came out to bid on our houses, and my husband David Zimmerman for making and donating the materials and labor to make the bird houses.
Happy birding,
Tricia Zimmerman
Marketing Class Advisor

ATTENTION 8th Grade Parents and Guardians! Here is an important message from Hellgate High School:
Hello Future Hellgate Knights! We wanted to reach out regarding rising 9th graders who are interested in taking online courses over the summer. Please note that Hellgate does not provide or cover the cost of these courses. If a student or parent wishes to pursue an accelerated pathway, they must contact the student’s high school counselor via email.
We generally advise against this option unless the student and family are fully prepared for the increased rigor and are seeking a more advanced academic pathway. High school counselors are the best resource for answering specific questions and helping determine whether this is the right fit.
All coursework must be completed before the start of school on August 27, 2025, in order to advance in the subject area.
Thanks!
Hellgate High School Counselors

Bonner School is being recognized by the National Council for History Education for its amazing local history project! In the fall, 6th graders did in-depth research on a Bonner topic working with community members and the Bonner-Milltown History Center and presenting their work both at parent-teacher conferences and a film premier in the school gym. Three of our students are featured in a podcast episode about historical research! Check it out!

Mrs. Zentgraf's class enjoyed ending our weather unit with a fun STEM project! We built houses, tested them, and brainstormed new ways of building them so that they could withstand strong winds.

Yesterday Close Up students visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to watch the changing of the guard. Their tour of Arlington Nat. Cemetery was eye opening, and our 8th graders did an amazing job showing GRIT.
24 students from the Bonner 8th grade class safely landed in Washington D.C. yesterday afternoon. Today we walked the National Mall, touched the Washington Monument, and visited the Holocaust Museum. We are ready to see and learn more!
BINGO is back!! For one night only! Join us tomorrow, Wednesday April 9th during conferences to win some books!
Second grade learned all about voting in the United States this week. After choosing two distinguished candidates, Duck and Grace, they put on an election. They campaigned, choose candidates to vote for, and counted votes together! What a great way to learn about being a good citizen!
