Hello, Scottie families!
As we approach Thanksgiving, we want to send a heartfelt "thank you" to our Bonnie Brae parents and caregivers, for partnering with us in your child's education. We have much to be grateful for this time of year, and we appreciate the efforts of our Bonnie Brae family -- working together to ensure the success of each of our Scotties.
Please see below for important updates, and consider purchasing some donuts linked in the 6th grade promotion fundraiser section. This fundraiser, set up by our 6th grade families, supports the end-of-year events for our 6th grade students!
We hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving break, and you enjoy this time with family and friends. We will see our Scotties back in school on Monday, December 2.

Family. Relationships. Success.
December 2-20 - Visit Bonnie Brae Lost and Found and Look for Lost Items
Positivity Project
Upcoming Weekly Focus: Kindness
Character Strengths: You are generous to others and you are never too busy to help out. You enjoy doing good deeds for other people.
Quote of the Week: “No kind action ever stops with itself. A single act of
kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up to make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them
kind themselves.”
-AMELIA EARHART
Positivity Project for Families
Families can find resources to help continue the discussion of character strengths at home by visiting the Positivity Project for Families webpage.

Door 1 Temporary Renovation Fencing
Hess Construction has put up a temporary fence outside of Door 1. The fence will be there for the foreseeable future, as it will allow the construction team to maintain safety for all staff, students, and visitors while work continues on the exterior and new entryway to the renovated wing of the building.
Lost and Found
Our lost and found is overflowing! We have sweatshirts, coats, water bottles, and other items in our Bonnie Brae lost and found. Be sure to check in at the main office and look through the lost and found (located in our lobby by the Scottland Yard doors) during the month of December to see if any of the items belong to your child/children. Bonnie Brae staff will collect all items remaining in our lost and found on Friday, December 20 and donate them to a local cause.
