| 4th Grade State Projects | | Having the U.S. as its focus, our fourth grade students have already began their individual state research project by working on their state flower and state bird. Everyone is very excited to learn more information about their state and travel the miles using books, videos, the internet, and maybe even a visit later in the year with their family, if they are so lucky. Our goal is to grown into being state experts by the end of the year and celebrate with our families at our State Fair in May. | |
| BPC Thank You | | A big thank you from the BPC to all the wonderful volunteers who provided a welcome back continental breakfast for the faculty and staff on Tuesday, September 7th. These terrific parents went right back into the kitchen and cooked up an awesome lunch for our staff on Wednesday, September 15th. The theme for Staff Appreciation this year is a nod to the big Vegas casinos. So, September's lunch was all about New York street vendor food in honor of the casino, "New York, New York." Thanks so much to Gay, Dana, Caroline, Jennifer, Susan, Angel, Alyssa, Wendy, Brittney, Theresa, Kristen, Lynn, Deb, Dawn, Karin, Princina, Jan, Sabrina, Jule, Niki, and Jacqueline for contributing to these meals | |
