WALK/JOG-A-THON:
Pledge dollars returned as of Tuesday have been counted, and a BIG "thank you" to all of the families who turned in their donations. We are doing well, but have received pledge sheets and money from only 30% of our students.
We need all families to get those pledges in. If we meet our goal with our fall fundraisers, it will not be necessary to have an additional fundraising push this year.
We have extended the classroom competition until Tuesday, November 26th. All classrooms that bring in $250+ will be awarded playground equipment (balls, jump ropes, hula hoops, frisbees etc.) for recess.
If you have not yet turned in your Walk/Jog-a-Thon money, please do so by Tuesday, November 26th.
Donate online via our website: https://sites.google.com/site/bceparentsclub/. Please note student and teacher names in memo box in order for the donation to count in the contests. Checks are to be made payable to BCE Parents Club. 100% proceeds stay at BCE!
FAMILY DINNER NIGHT @ RED PEARL: Wow, the 2nd Grade Class earned $456!
