Bonny Eagle Middle School
Bonny Eagle Middle School is the home for nine hundred plus 'lakers'.
The towns of Standish, Buxton, Hollis, and Steep Falls' history,
heritage and geography are forever linked to Sebago and her sister
lakes and ponds. Undoubtedly, Bonny Eagle students have been touched by
the waters that surround them.
The lakes are a living, breathing part
of the students' everyday lives, a source of recreation, and for some
families, a part of their livelihood. Thus inbued with the magic Sebago
offers, the students have a sense of stewardship that comes from the
experience of knowing something spiritual. Bonny Eagle is located 20
minutes from the ocean and the towns meander along not only the shores
of Sebago, but the Saco River as well.

If all the water in Sebago Lake were pumped into 10,000 gallon trucks
