Dear BCE Families,
Movie Night ~ I hope you can join me tonight as our own BCE Parent Club sponsors Family Movie Night! The fun will begin at 6 pm with the showing of, Hotel Transylvania 3, Summer Vacation. Admission is free and profits from concessions will support the 5th grade Science Camp Fund.
Lost and Found Clothing ~ While you are enjoying movie night, why not check out our ever expanding pile of lost and found clothing! Our fabulous volunteers have worked hard to match items of clothing to their owners, but the majority does not have a name. Volunteers will be taking the clothing to donate next Friday, 11/2, so try to drop by and identify items before then.
Fundraiser ~ The BCE student Leadership Team has chosen to raise funds to help people in Indonesia for tsunami and earthquake relief efforts. Donations will be accepted over the next few weeks in the collection box in the office.
Board Update ~ Please click here to read the latest SLV School Board Update.
Family Dinner Night ~ Boulder Creek Roadside Café will be donating 20% of their sales on Monday, from 11:30 am to 9:00 pm, to benefit our 4th grade classrooms. Thank you for your support!
New Book ~ At our recognition assemblies on Wednesday, classes received their new book supporting the importance of perseverance. Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beauty celebrates a young girl's creativity and perseverance. This fun and inspiring read can be found in our school library as well as the Boulder Creek library.
Earthquake Drill ~ Today was our first earthquake drill of the year. Your students did a great job as we practiced to duck, cover, and hold and then to evacuate the classroom in a safe manner. While we hope never to experience a significant earthquake during school hours, it's always better to be prepared!
Halloween Parade ~ Our BCE Halloween Parade is scheduled for 9 am, Wednesday October 31 on the upper playground. Our BCE Bears will be making a big circle and one grade level at a time will walk in a smaller circle on the inside. This will allow all of our students to be able to see each other. We ask that all adults please stay behind the outside ring. Thank you!

Perseverance Quote of the Week :
I will persist until I succeed. Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.
~ Og Mandino
Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school and being on time every day!
