Bonneville PTA and School Programs

You can get involved! Learn more about PTA & School programs and access our volunteer signups below. You are welcome to attend a General PTA Meeting at the school if you are interested in participating or giving feedback on any of the programs we sponsor. Please check the calendar for times and locations.

Student Development

Part of the purpose of PTA is to provide opportunities for the students that they might not otherwise have ... to help them "realize their full potential". In particular, we focus on the arts and individual development.

Reflections

• PTA Reflections is a national PTA program that gives students the opportunity to explore and submits works of visual, performing, and language arts.

• Each year many students in Utah are recognized for superior talents on the National Level.

• If you are passionate about the arts and would like to help coordinate and carry out the Reflections program at Bonneville, contact us at BonnevillePTAorem@gmail.com.

Storytelling Festival

• Each student is encouraged to tell a story to their classmates. The ‘best in class’ tells their stories to their grade level, and the best of those share their stories in a school assembly.

• Our Storytelling Festival has moved up in the calendar so that those students participating can move on to the regional "Timp Tell Contest".

• If you would like to help coordinate the Storytelling festival, contact us at BonnevillePTAorem@gmail.com.

Battle of the Books

• Battle of the Books is a school program that is supported by the PTA by providing funding and volunteers.

• Interested students will be part of teams of 3rd & 4th grade students, or 5th & 6th grade students.  Each team will read from the book list of 20 total books.  In March, teams will come together for a game show- style tournament where they will work as teams to answer questions about the books from the list.

Take Home Reading Program

• The Take Home Reading Program provides students with reading-level-appropriate books to read at home. This is a school program that is supported by PTA volunteers who go to the school each day and switch the books that have been read out and select new books to go home.

• The school needs many volunteers to help switch books. Volunteers commit to come in weekly.

Community Involvement

The goal of PTA is to bring the community together in support of the Students at Bonneville. This means bringing together local businesses, families, and school personnel.

Zombie Carnival

• Families are invited to come together to celebrate, mingle and support our local PTA & school! This has become an annual tradition involving the entire community. Contact us at BonnevillePTAorem@gmail.com if you would like to help plan and carry out the event.

Family STEAM Fair

• The STEAM Fair is a fun event that encourages family involvement and provides an inside look into the STEAM curriculum & activities.

• If you would like to run a booth or otherwise be involved, contact us at BonnevillePTAorem@gmail.com.

• Our STEAM Fair will TENTATIVELY be held in January 2025

Family Restaurant Nights

• Join us for our monthly Family Night at a local restaurant and they will donate a percentage of their profits to our PTA. When you place your order, tell them you are with Bonneville Elementary. Just another "painless" way to earn money for our PTA and visit with other families and teachers from Bonneville!

Health & Safety

Our PTA cares about the safety of the students at Bonneville!

Health Week

• A few years ago we transitioned from Red Ribbon Week and Green Ribbon Week to Health Week so that we could broaden our focus.

• Health Week encourages the students to pledge to be drug free, choose to eat healthier, to stay active, and to keep a positive mental attitude.

• You can help coordinate and run health week, simply contact us at BonnevillePTAorem@gmail.com.

Classroom Emergency Preparedness Kits

• Each classroom at Bonneville has an emergency kit to be used in case of chemical spills, intruders, or other situation in which it may be necessary for students to be in the classroom for extended periods of time. These bags contain small items such as water, granola bars, hard candies, flashlights, band aids, etc. You can help us keep these bags current by donating supplies or money. 

NOVA

• PTA helps to support our 6th graders by providing funds to partially pay for the N.O.V.A. program.

• The N.O.V.A. Principles program teaches powerful & comprehensive principles-based decision making that goes far beyond other prevention and education programs. The curriculum includes lessons that help youth and parents deal with Drugs, Gangs, Accountability, Making Good Choices, Anger Management, Internet Safety, Self Esteem, Bullying, and Media issues.

Maturation Assembly

• All 5th grade students are invited to participate in the Maturation assembly. Parents are invited too!

• The maturation assembly is a school program that PTA helps to fund.

Hearing & Vision Screening

• You can support Bonneville by signing up to help out with Hearing & Vision screenings. These are typically done in the Fall. 

Teacher & School Personnel Support

We have some terrific faculty at Bonneville! Bonneville PTA works to coordinate efforts to support our teachers and other faculty/staff through classroom & grade level grants, teacher recognition awards, SEP luncheons, and more. There are a variety of ways you can show your support to faculty and staff at Bonneville. If you have other ideas of how we can support our faculty and staff, please email BonnevillePTAorem@gmail.com and let our PTA know!

Room Parents

• Having a room parent in each classroom helps teachers feel supported, gives us an opportunity to share some if their tremendous work load and is a great way to build relationships with the fantastic teachers at Bonneville.

• Our PTA works hard to make sure that each teacher at the school has a room parent. Room parent responsibilities largely depend on the needs of the teacher, but normally include things like coordinating field trip chaperones, decorating the teacher door for Teacher Appreciation Week, helping with class parties, and similar things. Room parents keep in close contact with their teacher to help communicate needs to the other parents.

• Email us at BonnevillePTAorem@gmail.com to get more information or to express interest in serving as a room parent.

SEP Luncheons

• We like to provide dinner for our teachers on one of the SEP meeting days (typically held in October and February). These are long days for our teachers!

• Email us at BonnevillePTAorem@gmail.com to help coordinate the meal, provide food, or help in another way.

Teacher Appreciation Week

• We love our teachers and want them to feel the support of Bonneville families. Each year, toward the end of the school year, we host a week of activities and treats to express appreciation. Email BonnevillePTAorem@gmail.com to see how you can help out.

• Teacher Appreciation Week will be held March 17-21, 2025

Other

• There are other ways you can support teachers at Bonneville. Watch the monthly newsletter for supplies they could use in class. Or, email BonnevillePTAorem@gmail.com if you are interested in helping with things like birthday recognition, spotlights, etc.
