 Hello Scottie Families!
Thank you to our Bonnie Brae community for helping us make our staff and teacher appreciation week such a huge success! We are so grateful to those who donated so much of their time and resources to show our Scottie staff how much we appreciate them.
Tonight we hold our 2nd annual Au-Some Family Fun Night, and we look forward to a special evening with our families of students with autism, from 5-6:30 PM.
As a reminder, the date for the PTO Spring Carnival was moved to next Friday, May 19, from 6-8 PM. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
Have a great weekend, and a wonderful Mother's Day!

Mental Health Awareness Month
“May Day” is an emergency procedure word used internationally as a distress signal in voice-procedure radio communications. The new 9-8-8 number is a suicide and crisis lifeline, similar to 9-1-1 in a medical/safety emergency. One in six youth, aged 6-17, experience a mental health condition each year. Please click here for more information on Mental Health Awareness Month.
SOL Testing Resources
As shared at our parent coffee this morning, here are some resources available to Bonnie Brae students to support with SOL test review.
