BCE Bearmail 10/2/15

October 2, 2015

 

Dear BCE Families,

 

Ice Cream! ~ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!  I hope to see many of you between 5 and 7pm for our annual Ice Cream Social.  Remember the first scoop is free for all BCE students!

 

Drive for Schools ~ Would you like to win a car or $25,000 and support BCE?  Raffle tickets are $5.00 each or a book of 6 for $25.00.  Tickets will be available tonight at the Ice Cream Social and all proceeds go to BCE!  Thank you for supporting our students!

 

Halloween Costumes ~ It's October and I know many students are already planning their Halloween costumes. There are a few guidelines regarding costumes.  Costumes should be in good taste and safely constructed so that they do not interfere with regular class activities.  Gruesome costumes and bloody, fake wounds are not appropriate for an elementary school.  Weapons (including fakes), skateboards and roller blades are not allowed as part of costumes.   If you are unsure, please contact your child's teacher or the office before purchasing the costume

 

Recognition Assembly ~ We had our first recognition assembly of the year on Wednesday. Thank you to our Parent Club for purchasing the BCE Way dog tags that each student will get this year when they are recognized for demonstrating the BCE Way.  Congratulations to all our students who were recognized for being Responsible, Safe and/or Respectful.  We have amazing students here at BCE and I know the teachers struggled at being able to honor only a handful at this assembly.  Luckily, we have five more assemblies to get them all up on stage!

 

Cabrillo Open House ~ Cabrillo College will be hosting an Open House on Saturday October 17th from 10am-2pm.  This is an opportunity for you and your student to explore one of our local college campuses.  It's never too early to expose our students to the idea of college and post secondary training.

Quote of the Week (Pride):

Did you know???

Building a habit of good attendance in elementary school will help your student do well in high school, college and any career that they choose to peruse.  It is much easier to establish the expectation of regular school attendance in elementary school than it is when your student gets to middle or high school.  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 SchoolsOnly 2 More Weeks to buy your winning ticket!

Someone from this area is going to win the big prize, $25,000 or a CAR, and it might as well be YOU!!  The Drive for Schools program is one of the best ways to support BCE.  100% of proceeds from the ticket sales goes to BCE.  Purchasing a ticket for $5 or a booklet of 6 tickets for $25 is like giving money directly to the school except you also get a chance to win a car or $25,000 cash!  You can get your tickets from the pink order form that went home with your child, 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.

 

Ice Cream SocialTONIGHT from 5-7pm on the BCE Uppers!!!!

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¢.
