BCE Bearmail 9/25/15

September 25, 2015

 

Dear BCE Families,

 

Hope to See You! ~ I hope to see many of you at the Ice Cream Social next Friday, October 2 (5-7pm).  This is always a fun event and a good way to touch base with friends and our BCE community.  Remember the first scoop is free for BCE students!

 

Drive for Schools ~ Would you like to win a car or $25,000 and support BCE?  This is the only fundraiser we have this fall and all proceeds from the sales of Drive for Schools Raffle tickets come back to BCE! Raffle tickets are $5.00 each or a book of 6 for $25.00.  Tickets can be purchased from the order forms that went home with each student.  Additionally, tickets will be available at the Ice Cream Social next week and are also available in our office. Thank you for supporting our students!

 

College & Career Readiness ~ As I mentioned at Back to School Night, one of the goals we have as a School District is to make sure all our students are college and career ready. At BCE we want to support our students to be ready for any future they can dream of!  They don't need to decide in 2nd grade what college they want to go to or what career path they want to follow, but when the time comes we want them to be prepared academically and socially to pursue their goals.

 

Helping Children ~ Please click on the "Links" tab at the top of the BCE website and click on the "Helping Children Newsletter". This informative newsletter is sponsored by our Parent Club and each moth provides new and interesting articles as well as advice to families with young children.

Did you know???

Our attendance line is available 24 hours a day.  Please call 338-2887 anytime of the day or night if your student is ill and will be absent from school.  A call needs to be made to BCE each day the student is absent, even if they are consecutive.  THANK YOU!

 

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!


The BCE Way:  BE RESPECTFUL, BE SAFE, BE RESPONSIBLE


BCE PARENT CLUB EVENT & MEETING REMINDERS:

Drive For Schools – Head on over to the Harvest Festival in downtown BC this Saturday and check out our BCE booth to get your winning ticket.  Fill out the ticket stubs, return it to our ticket box, and then sit back and plan how you will spend your $25,000.  Someone from this area is going to win the big prize and it might as well be YOU!!  The Drive for Schools program is one of the best ways to support BCE. 100% of the sale of tickets goes straight to the programs and supplies we desperately need at BCE.  Purchasing a ticket or a booklet of tickets is like giving money directly to the school except you also get a chance to win a car or $25,000 cash!  You can also get your tickets from the pink order form that went home with your child this week, at the BC Pharmacy, the Ice Cream Social, catch us in front of Johnnie's on designated days, or just stop into the school office.  If you would like to opt out of this fall fundraiser, look towards the bottom of your flier in order to check that option.

BCE FAMILY NOODLE NIGHT - Wednesday, October 7, 5:00-10:00 PM

The Boulder Creek Golf Course and Country Club will be hosting a spaghetti and lasagna feed for their 1st BCE Family Dinner Night.  Salad bar and bread will be included with each meal. A percentage of the night's proceeds will benefit the 4th Grade.  More details will be shared in next week's Bear Mail.

 
Ice Cream Social – You know you don't want to miss the social event of the season!  So make your plans now to be at the Ice Cream Social on Friday, October 2nd from 5pm to 7pm.  Greet our fabulous Kindergarten teachers to get your tickets, head over to the fantastic fifth grade scoopers to get your favorite flavor, and then sit back and share your greatness with the other amazing members of our school community.  You know it won't be the same without you!  The first scoop is free for all current BCE students.  Additional scoops are 50¢.
