Have you ever seen an old photo and said to yourself, "There's a story there." Well, Bonner 7th graders are diving into old Montana photo archives in Mr. Huisken's social studies class and turning their findings into a short story in Ms. Quinn's ELA class. Here is one such photo of the old Bonner School after a snowstorm. You can find more like this in the Bonner archives by visiting https://mtmemory.org/digital/search/searchterm/bonner
