A strong sense of community is a core value of Bonny Slope. Bonny Slope Elementary holds several evening family events throughout the year to support strong ties between our students, parents, and staff. These events are a great opportunity for families of Bonny Slope students to meet and socialize with other families, teachers, and staff in an informal setting outside of the classroom.
Several family events will be held during the school year. Many volunteers are needed to make these events a success. Volunteer commitment can be as minimal as helping the night of the event, or can be more extensive to include chairing an event or helping with the planning and preparation stages. This is an excellent opportunity for parents or other family members who want to volunteer at Bonny Slope, but are unable to do so during the school day.
The family events scheduled for the 2009-2010 school year are:
Back to School Picnic – September 10
Celebrate the beginning of a new school year! Families bring their own picnic and dine outside by the Bonny Slope playground and amphitheater. A great chance to touch base with old friends, interact with the Bonny Slope teachers and staff, and meet some new friends! The BSCO provides ice cream and lemonade. A few volunteers are needed to help set up, oversee the refreshments, and clean up.
Monster Mash – October 23
A fun-filled evening to celebrate Halloween, complete with a DJ/dance and fun activities. Costumes are welcomed (though leave the gory costumes and swords/guns at home). Admission is free with food and dessert available for purchase. Lots of volunteers are needed to help plan and prepare for this event, and then to work the evening of the event.
Movie Night – February 12
Free movie at school! Families are invited to come watch an age-appropriate movie in the school gym. Snacks will be available for purchase. An adult must accompany children. The team leader will arrange for the movie and snacks. A few volunteers are needed to help set up and clean up.
Carnival – June 4
Wrap up a great year with our fun-filled Carnival. Volunteers are needed to plan for this event. We will also need many volunteers the evening of the event to help set up, clean up, supervise the games, etc.
