 Dear Bonnie Brae School Community,
A huge thank you to our PTO for helping us make Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week so special for everyone here at Bonnie Brae!
On Tuesday, May 17, Dr. Reid, the new FCPS superintendent, will join staff, families, and students for a multilingual virtual town hall, starting at 7 PM. FCPS will share details about this event directly via email in the near future.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms! We hope everyone has a great weekend with your family!

Next Week's Events

We have made it to our last official week for the Positivity Project. Our teachers and students have engaged with all 24 Character Strengths and have learned a lot throughout the way. Our community will continue to dig deeper into these character strengths as we close out the 2021-2022 school year. Thank you for supporting us with meaningful conversations at home.
Upcoming Weekly Focus: Outro Week- Other People Mindset
Character Strength Features: To celebrate our learning about these traits and mindsets this year, we will spend the week reflecting on what it means to show the Other People Mindset.

Bonnie Brae Class Placement
Thank you for your continued partnership with staff at Bonnie Brae Elementary! We know that a good teacher-student match and a productive mix of children are ingredients for success. We carefully consider each child’s strengths and needs during the class creation process. We encourage family input to share information school staff should be aware of to aid the process of creating classes for the 2022 - 2023 school year. Keep in mind family input is one of multiple pieces of information used to create classes and classes are not finalized until late August. So that your submission can be considered prior to conversations with current staff, please submit your input here no later than Friday, May 13, 2022. Thank you!
6th Grade Panoramic Photo
The yearly 6th grade group Panoramic Photo is scheduled for May 16 at 9 am. Sixth grade students will wear their class t-shirt in the photo. To order a photo, please follow the directions found on this Panoramic Photo Order Form.
Save the Date! SOL Test Dates for Grades 3-6
SOL testing for Grades 3-6 will occur in May. The dates for each assessment are available on the Bonnie Brae Website. If you have questions about testing please contact Scott Hawk, Assistant Principal.
BBES Lunch and Recess Volunteer Opportunity
We are seeking parent volunteers to support during our lunch hours and recess hours. Lunch starts at 10:45am and ends at 1:30pm. Our grade levels have recess scattered throughout the day at various times from 9:30am - 2:45pm. Volunteers in both settings have the opportunity to connect and engage with students on a daily basis and support the safety and supervision of students at Bonnie Brae. Even 30 minutes of support one day a week can be a help to our students.
If you are interested in supporting any day(s) of the week on a consistent basis during any portion of our lunch block, please contact Kathy Rials, kerials@fcps.edu.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our students and to continue encouraging safety protocols.
BBES Spring Carnival
Due to the impending weather, we are postponing the PTO Spring Carnival (originally scheduled on May 6th from 6-8pm). The rescheduled date is May 20th from 6-8pm.
We are still planning the dunk tank! If you would like to support this fun event, please click on this link to sign-up for a 10-minute time slot between 6:20-7:40 PM.
We need a lot of volunteers to make the event successful. Please signup to help at one of the games or to donate a cake for the cake walk at the links below. More carnival details will be released soon!
We look forward to enjoying festivities with you!
