Ms. Aubrey and Mr. Brian's pre-k class brought learning to life... literally! Mr. Brian became their coconut tree so they could act out a class favorite, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. The laughter was definitely contagious!

This morning, Bonner Springs Rotary members, Jack and Dr. Russ, stopped by Delaware Ridge Elementary to deliver dictionaries to all 3rd graders! They stopped by Bonner Springs Elementary and Edwardsville Elementary in recent days, as well!
The Bonner Springs Rotary began donating dictionaries to USD 204 3rd graders three years ago! They are one of the many service clubs across the country (and in some other countries) that participate in The Dictionary Project, supplying third graders with dictionaries.

USD 204 Pre-K students visited Delaware Highlands Assisted Living this afternoon to show off their stuffed animals in a Pet Parade for the residents! Delaware Highlands staff even had Dalmation puppy ear headbands for the students to wear, and treats for the students after the parade!
Today was the first day of this year for the Pre-K students to visit, but they will be back several times throughout the year - a wonderful partnership for both the preschool students AND Delaware Highlands Assisted Living residents!

At the September 8th Board of Education meeting, Hilary Koehn from the Kansas Parents as Teachers Association and Lisa Williams from the Kansas Office of Early Childhood presented Melissa Lewis with the 2026 Parent Educator of the Year award!
Koehn said, "For more than 11 years, Melissa has been the heart of the USD 204 Parents As Teachers program as the Parent Educator. As the sole parent educator serving in this community, she has carried an incredible responsibility with consistency, compassion, and a genuine commitment to families, and it shows!
Over those years, Melissa has touched the lives of hundreds of families building relationships, one home visit at a time, and has helped parents feel confident as their first and most important teacher."
Congratulations, Melissa!
