Dear BCE Families,
Mountain Community Resources ~ Our staff had the opportunity to meet with representatives from Mountain Community Resources on Wednesday. We were so impressed with their presentation about some of the services they offer (food bank, parent education, disaster preparedness, etc.) and would like to encourage you to contact them if you would like to take advantage of any of their services, or even use them as a springboard to other community resources. Please contact them at www.communitybridges.org or phone them at 335-6600. We are very lucky to have this amazing resource to support all our families in the valley.
Canned Food Drive ~ The Valley Christmas Project Canned Food Drive is up and running. Please send in your non-perishable donations to help support families in our community. This is a great opportunity for our children to discover the good feeling we receive when we do good things for others.
Family Conferences ~ Conferences start Wednesday (November 19th) and run through the following Tuesday (November, 25th)
