We are cheering on the Montana Grizzly football team today as they get ready to play in the 2024 National Championships! Mr. Howard joined our middle school band kids as we played "Go Griz Go" across the school intercom. Students and staff cheered from the hallways and classrooms. We are excited for the big game! Go Griz!
Just a reminder that there is NO PTA meeting tonight. January's meeting has been moved to next Wednesday, January 10th @ 6:30pm.
Mr. Dochnahl brought the Hellgate Wind Ensemble to Bonner this week to perform and talk to students about high school band! They spread holiday cheer with festive music, and students talked about high school band class and travel through their program. Their visit was inspirational and fun! It was wonderful having them come out to our school!

Are you looking for the perfect present? Check out the Bonner PTA Christmas bazaar Saturday, December 2nd from 9 AM until 3 PM in the Bonner School gym!
After reading, researching, and writing about Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, both second grader classes were tasked with designing their own ‘balloon’ for our Balloons Over Bonner display. We learned that it’s true what they say - to be a Macy’s ‘Balloonatic’ you must be: part artist, part engineer, and never grow up.
Today is your last chance to sign up to be a vendor at the Bonner PTA Christmas bazaar on Saturday, December 2nd. If you are interested in being a vendor, please contact Tina at 406-370-4072 today!

A team of fifth graders will represent Bonner at MSU early next year as we participate in The Northwest Earth and Space Science Pathways (NESSP)/NASA National Student Challenge program. The program is affiliated with NASA’s ARTEMIS ROADS II missions. It offers students in grades 3-12 the opportunity to design their own NASA mission with hand-ons activities. Fifth graders will build a rocket considering the concepts center of mass and center of gravity along with other relevant rocket related terms. They will build and program an autonomous rover using Lego SPIKE Prime, and conduct an experiment simulating cultivating plants and living on the moon. Through research they will learn about the many technological advances and challenges currently being explored by NASA.
Note:
“The Artemis Missions are NASA’s exciting plans to return humans to the Moon! They have an amazing team of astronauts, including engineers, biologists, geologists, oceanographers, physicists, pilots, and doctors. Among them will be the first woman and person of color to set foot on the Moon. NASA wants to learn more about the Moon’s environment and improve its spaceflight abilities through robotic and human-crewed missions. By the end of the Artemis missions, NASA hopes to have a community of astronauts living and working on the Moon.”
