BCE Bearmail 2/3/17

February 3, 2017

 

Dear BCE Families,


Parenting  Classes ~ I hope you are able to join us for our next Positive Parenting series of classes starting on Tuesday.  Please click here for more information about this powerful parenting group series.


Science Fair ~ What a delight it was to tour our Science Fair yesterday!  I was so proud of all the students who participated.  I witnessed high levels of questioning, organization and perseverance.  I appreciated the attention to detail and the pride that was evident in their projects. Congratulations to all participants and good luck to our students who will advance to the county completion.  A BIG thank you to Jacquie Spracklen, Karen Hoogner, and all of our adult volunteers.  We couldn't do it without you!


Valentine's Day ~ As February rolls in we start thinking about Valentine's Day.  Please remember that if your student brings Valentine cards for 1 student in the class, they need to bring cards for all the students in their class.  Valentine's Day is not a day for hurt feelings and hearts.


Pennies for Patients ~ Starting next week, BCE students will have the opportunity to participate in our annual Pennies for Patients drive which benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  The drive will run from Feb. 6 - 24.  Each student will be bringing a collection box home this week and encouraged to fund-raise for cancer patients.  Thank you for your support. This fundraiser is a wonderful opportunity for students to see how small contributions joined together can make a generous donation to an organization that makes a difference in peoples lives.


Absences ~ If your student will be absent from school due to illness, please call the BCE Attendance Line at 338-2887.  Please call every day until you student returns and let us know how their recovery is going. 


Flu Season ~ We're in the middle of flu season, please remind your students to wash their hands with soap and water on a regular basis.  Donations of tissues and anti-bacterial wipes are also always appreciated.

Quote of the Week (Service)

"Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness.  He is there to realize great things for humanity"

~ Vincent Van Gogh

 

Did you know???

California law states that children under 8 must be properly buckled into a car seat or booster seat in the back seat.  Children 8 or older, or those that are 4'9", may use the vehicle's safety belt if it fits properly.

 

 

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

 

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