Friends of Bonham Events

Upcoming 2012 Events

Friends of Bonham has planned a busy and entertaining series of events designed to highlight the many talents of our venerable neighbors as well as neighbor-owned businesses this year. All of them are 100% benefitting educational and enrichment programs at the school, from the arts program to computers for the middle school and beyond. Take your pick or come to all of them, you are sure to have a great time and do your part to help out our neighborhood school!
