Teachers spend an average of $895 of their own money each year on classroom supplies, and many also purchase books for their classroom libraries themselves.
Our online Literati Book Fair is open now, and our teacher wishlists are live too!
If you’re looking for a simple way to support a Bonner classroom, you can browse teacher wishlists and choose a book to help grow a classroom library students will enjoy all year long.

🐝📚 Sunday Bee Connection: Reading helps our hive thrive!
Honey bees use a “waggle dance” to share information about where to find food. At Bonner, our Bees find nourishment for their minds in books!
In the gym while waiting for morning pickup, in the library, and in the cafeteria, our students are making time for reading. We love seeing them reach for a book and turn everyday moments into opportunities to learn. 💛
Every page helps our hive grow! 🐝📖

🐝 Sunday Bee Fact: Strong Hives Need Supportive Environments!
Honey bee colonies usually operate as separate communities, but the world surrounding each hive can make a tremendous difference. People can positively support bees by providing flowering plants, protecting habitat and offering knowledgeable, responsible care.
The same is true for a school. The work within Bonner matters deeply, but our students flourish because a larger community surrounds and supports them. We are grateful for partners such as CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital, our Bonner families, Mr. Lennon and his beekeeping expertise, the Bonner PTA, and Marvin Methodist Church. Each brings unique knowledge, resources and care that strengthen our hive and expand what is possible for our students.
When a community invests in its bees—both the winged kind and the Bonner kind—the whole hive grows stronger! 🐝💙💛

🐝 Sunday Bee Fact!
Honey bees collect sticky resin from plants and mix it with wax to create propolis, a protective material they spread throughout the hive. Propolis has antimicrobial properties and helps support a healthy hive environment.
This connects bees to biomedical science: researchers study how natural substances interact with microbes, immune systems, and health. At Bonner, our students and staff bring their knowledge, build upon one another’s ideas, and expand what our whole hive can learn!
