Dear BCE Families,
Math Night ~ Please join me on Tuesday evening for an interactive night of elementary math. This is an adult only night (no childcare is provided) and is not a repeat of the last Parent Math Night. Please join our own Mrs. Ebrahimian and SLE's Mrs. Myers at the Quail Hollow Campus in Ben Lomond (6:00 pm-7:30 pm). Topics will include: Number Talks, Math Practices, and Breakout sessions for grades K-2 and 3-5. I hope to see you there!
It's not too late to turn in Walk/Jogathon money! Please help our parent club reach their goal - they are almost there. Money can be turned in to the office or your child's teacher. Make checks payable to BCE Parent Club with "Walk/Jog" entered on the memo line. Thank you!
Healthy Treats ~ Just a reminder that we have many students with dietary issues and food sensitivity. Please consider this if you choose to bring in birthday or party foods. Fruits, vegetables, cheese, crackers and popcorn are all good alternative to high sugar, low nutritional food. Thanks for supporting our students!
Please help ~ Please return the form you received asking if you will be returning to BCE next year. That information is critical to our staffing plan. Thank you for you help!
Amazon ~ Our Parent Club participates in the Amazon Smile program. Signing up is easy! All you need to do is go to smile.amazon.com or click on the Amazon Smile button on our Parent Club home page (https://sites.google.com/site/bceparentsclub/).

Did you know???
In addition to academic skills your students are learning other skills each day they come to school. They are learning social skills at recess and in collaborative work in the classroom. They are learning perseverance and resiliency as they work through academic and social struggles and they are learning that school is important.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
