Check out all the wonderful Bowne hearts and pledges on the wall outside the main office! By Gia James The Valentine's Day Dance-A-Thon was awesome! We had such a blast with our Kinderbuddies and we got the best ice pops ever as a special treat from the PTA. I hope everyone at Bowne had as much fun as I did at the Dance-A-Thon. By Landon Kearns At the Dance-a-thon, Bowne-Munro raised money for Elijah’s Promise, and on Friday we presented them a check for $1,590. Elijah’s Promise gives food to people who are hungry. Also they open their doors for people who are homeless so they can stay overnight because they don’t want anybody to get sick from the cold. I would like to thank Bowne-Munro for participating in this dance to raise money, and I bet everybody from Elijah’s Promise thanks you too. th th 4 and 5 Grade Valentines Dance By Ashleigh Quiles The Valentines party was awesome with all the 4th and 5th graders because everybody was dancing and having a great time.
