Dear BCE Families,
Thank you! ~ What a treat it was to see so many of you last Friday at the BCE Ice Cream Social! What a fun and delicious event it was. A great big THANK YOU to our amazing Parent Club who sponsored this annual event.
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. 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.
Lost & Found ~ Our lost and found pile continues to grow. We have a large amount of sweaters, and jackets that have accumulated over the past 6 weeks. As the weather begins to get cooler (I'm sure it will someday!) your students will need those extra layers. Please come by and take a look. You may be able to save some money for raffle tickets if you don't have to buy that new jacket!
Don't forget to put your student's name on the inside collar of the garment. This will help us return the item to your student should it be left on the playground. Thank you!
College & Career Week ~ October 26th – 30th
BCE will be participating with the rest of SLVUSD in recognizing College & Career Week. It is important that as an elementary school we begin to prepare students to attend college or other post-secondary educational programs. Most of the jobs that our students will have as adults will require additional education past high school. We want our BCE Bears to be prepared to succeed in any future they can dream of!

Did you know???
It is important to follow the directions of our staff members while they are on crosswalk duty. They are there to protect our students and to direct traffic in a way that is efficient, but more importantly safe. 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 – Only 1 More Week 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.
YEARBOOK KICK-OFF MEETING – Monday, October 19, 6:00 – SAVE THE DATE
We need help documenting this year's memories in our BCE 2015-2016 Yearbook. We will be forming a committee to assist with this effort. The kick-off will discuss opportunities to get involved. ContactNicole.Berridge@gmail.com for more information.
