Despite the hard work of our district crews and city officials, some of our parking lots, sidewalks, and many side streets remain unsafe for students and staff to return. Out of an abundance of caution, there will be no school tomorrow, January 8th. This extra time will allow road conditions to continue improving and give crews the opportunity to ensure the areas around our facilities are safe for everyone.
Thank you for your understanding as we prioritize safety. Stay safe and warm, BRAVES!

Dylan Taylor, a 2020 graduate of Bonner Springs High School, has turned his passion for shoes into a successful business. He buys and sells sneakers to people and businesses across the U.S., creating a thriving reselling venture. But for Dylan, it’s not just about making money—it’s about giving back to the community that helped him along the way.
Dylan recently donated shoes to staff at Clark Middle School (CMS) as a thank-you for all the support they gave him during his school years.
His generosity extends beyond just school staff. Dylan has also donated shoes to students during the school supply drive, ensuring local kids have what they need. For him, the business is a way to help others while doing something he loves. Thank you Dylan!
