BCE Bearmail 3/14/14

March 14, 2014

 

Dear BCE Families,


Congratulations  ~ Congratulations to our yearbook artists:


1st Place (Front Cover):  Mia Brees

2nd Place (Back Cover):  Katelyn Owens

3rd Place (Tie - side page):  Emily Anderson and Nicole Gavron

 

There were some wonderful submissions this year and we appreciate all our artists who submitted their work.  Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

 

Just a reminder that yearbooks are currently on sale!


Lost and Found ~ Our Lost & Found area is overflowing with jacket, sweaters, lunch boxes, shirts, hats, sweatshirts, etc.  Please come by and take a look.  It would be a shame to have to replace items that are sitting here waiting to be claimed. All unclaimed items will be donated to charity at the end of the month.


Lunch Cards ~ Please don’t forget you can check on the balance and pay for your student’s lunch card online.  You’ll find the link at the San Lorenzo Valley Unified School District web site under the Student Nutrition Services tab.

Attendance Facts:

Here is a quote from our State Superintendent of Instruction Tom Torlakson

 

"A lost school day is a lost opportunity for our students to learn. We cannot afford these losses. We must do more to ensure our students are in the classroom and ready to learn."

Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school every day and on time!

 

Safety Tip of the Week:

As the temperatures warm up and footwear styles change, please help your student remember to wear appropriate shoes on their PE days.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
