We are excited to kick off the second semester and welcome everyone back, but safety comes first! Due to inclement weather and hazardous road conditions, there will be no school tomorrow, January 7th. 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!

Before heading off for break, our students showed the true spirit of giving! 🧡 McDanield Preschoolers delivered over 240 food items to Vaughn-Trent Community Services, and students across the district came together to prepare Thanksgiving meal kits for Feed His Lambs. We’re so proud of their generosity. THANK YOU to our staff and families for supporting the various food drives during the holiday season, helping us make a big impact in our community!
During the month of November, CMS raised money for supplies to make green bean casseroles for Feed His Lambs Ministry. FCCLA packed the casserole kits this morning, that will be distributed to local families this Thanksgiving season! Thank you for your generosity and contributing to our community!
