As the fall semester continues, I am inspired by the energy and achievements taking place across Bonita Unified. Students have returned to campuses eager to learn, create, and lead, and it’s clear that the spirit of living “The Bonita Way” continues to thrive.

 

This season, Bonita and San Dimas high schools earned national recognition as two of the best in the country, a testament to the dedication of our teachers, the determination of our students, and the support of our families. We’ve also seen students step into leadership roles, from serving on our Student Board to representing their schools in community events, demonstrating the power of student voice and involvement.

 

Athletics and the arts continue to showcase the talent and commitment of our students. The Smudge Pot football game carried on a decades-long tradition, uniting students and families while celebrating teamwork and school pride. Our arts programs, including fall concerts and special events, provide students with opportunities to express themselves creatively, build confidence, and connect with peers and mentors.

 

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our teachers, staff, and administrators. Your dedication, creativity, and tireless work behind the scenes ensure that every campus is ready for learning, growth, and memorable experiences. Your commitment makes all the difference in the lives of our students.

 

Looking ahead to the holiday season, we have many opportunities to celebrate our community and the achievements of our students. From seasonal events on campus to special performances and family activities, these moments bring us together and remind us of the shared purpose that makes Bonita Unified such a special place.
