Wild Wild West Spirit Week is Coming to CMS!
We’re gearing up for an exciting Spirit Week as we head into BSHS Homecoming Week – September 22nd to 26th! Each day will feature a fun theme where students can dress up and show their school spirit. Here's the rundown:
Spirit Week Schedule:
Monday: Cowboy/Cowgirl Up!
Wear your best Western wear—boots, hats, fringe, and more!
Tuesday: Farm Hand Day
Time to get to work! Dress in overalls and plaid shirts.
Wednesday: Western Star Wednesday
Channel your favorite Western actor, actress, or country singer.
Thursday: Denim Days
Go head to toe in denim!
Friday: Braves Pride
Wear your CMS Braves gear or black and orange to show your school spirit!
Important Reminder:
No weapons, spurs, ropes, other props, or live animals are allowed for Spirit Week outfits.
Our 20th annual Tomahawk Trot fundraiser is coming October 14th! The Tomahawk Trot is our only school fundraiser where we ask our students, parents, community, and staff members to raise money for student centered activities. The students will walk or run approximately 2.6 miles on a route through Bonner Springs. Each participant who collects or donates $20.00 will receive a t-shirt, participate in the walk/run, and enjoy snacks after the run. Prizes will be available for the top students who receive the most donations. You can make payments in Skyward, Revtrak, or at the front office each morning on or before October 13th!
If you own a business or are part of an organization and would like to support the event, we invite you to become a sponsor. You could have your logo featured on the back of the official event t-shirts with a minimum of $200 donation. To participate, please contact Kristy Adkins at adkinsk@usd204.net or call CMS at 913-422-5115, Ext. 3105. It's important to note that 100% of the money raised or donated will go directly back to the students at CMS, and your contribution may be eligible for a tax deduction.
Beginning Wednesday, September 10th, 138th Street between K-32 and Pratt will be reduced to a single lane due to roadway work in the area. Flaggers will be present to direct traffic with stop/slow paddles. Drivers may be asked to stop and wait for oncoming traffic to clear before proceeding. Expect delays during peak travel times; school buses may also experience delays.
Please allow extra time if traveling to or from Clark Middle School or Bonner Springs High School.

If your student participates in after school activities, for the safety of all students, we ask that parents use the upper parking lot when picking up their child, rather than waiting along the street in front of CMS. This applies to dismissal from tutoring, activities, practices, and other after-school events. Using the designated lot helps keep traffic flowing smoothly and ensures students are not walking through high-traffic areas. We appreciate your support in keeping our dismissal process safe and organized for everyone.
🎙️ Talk 204 is back! Superintendent Rick Moulin kicks off the new season with BSHS alum & Chamber of Commerce President Mike Clouse (Class of ’86). Mike shares favorite memories from his Brave days, reflects on what makes this community so special, and looks ahead to Tiblow Days—one of our most cherished traditions that keeps our small-town spirit alive. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts! It's a great day to be BRAVE 🧡🖤

Students selected their top elective preferences last Spring, and we worked hard to place them in classes they chose. While they may not have received all their top four choices, every elective was one they selected in Skyward. To keep schedules running smoothly, we won't be able to make changes once school begins. We're excited for students to explore these opportunities and discover new interests!
