The students at Bonnie Brae have been busy with trips, awards, and excitement over the past few weeks. On April 12, our Bonnie Brae Boy Scouts were invited to attend a 100 Year Anniversary celebration of the Boy Scouts, taking place on Ellis Island. Many of them had never visited the landmark, and it proved to be an exciting night. They joined many other troops to welcome the guests, lining a red carpet with other uniformed boy scouts and American Flags.

Our Bonnie Brae Knights Drum Corps also took a recent trip, down to West Virgina, to march in the annual Strawberry Festival. They enjoyed perfect weather, and a surprise, as they placed 2nd in the marching band competition. They proudly came home with a wonderful trophy and fun stories of their travels.

Recently, a special program on campus received state-wide recognition in Trenton. Our Brae Builders, who work with Habitat for Humanity, were given the 2010 Innovations in Special Education Award. While working side by side with Habitat for Humanity, students are paired with volunteer mentors. The program fosters confidence, develops vocational skills and equips students to handle the transition to the “real world.” The campus community was thrilled to hear of this recognition, and are so proud of all the Brae Builders.
