Thank You Parents!!     Thank to the parents who provide the delicious lunches for the faculty and staff, and their wonderful generosity of time and great food. The faculty and staff really appreciate the unique, delicious lunches. It is such a bright spot each month.

Family Fun Night Volunteers     We're looking for volunteers to help set up and provide refreshments for Famiy Fun Night.  If you're interested in baking a barnyard cake, helping provide refreshments, helping with setup, or entering the chili contest, please fill out the attached form here. BPC Book Club     New! The BPC Book Club will debut next Month! Mark your calendars for March 18th, from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM, at the school. Our book this month is Raising Good Children by Dr. Thomas Lickona. We’ll discuss Lickona’s ideas on how to help your child develop a lifelong sense of honesty, decency, and respect for others. Parents are up against a lot more than they used to be. “Children face a social environment that is actively hostile to many of the values parents would like to teach their children. A study by Cornell University found that American Children were more likely to break a rule or law if they thought their peers would know about it. Researchers confirm what parents fear: kids at every grade level are more dependent on peers than they used to be.” Join us for what will be a rich discussion. Watch this space for more details in the coming weeks.        Looking Ahead to Middle School     Just a reminder that the "Looking Ahead to Middle School" meeting for 3rd and 4th grade parents takes place tomorrow (Friday, February 19th) at 8:00 AM in the Media Center/Resource Room. Deadline Reminder     Enrollment Contracts have been mailed out for 2010-2011. Included in your enrollment packet is a $500.00 Re-enrollment Discount Voucher.

Timely Topics: Raising Responsible Children     Join us on March 10th following morning car line for a presentation and discussion by Pascale Brady from PEP (Parent Encouragement Program) on a topic of interest to all parents!
