Friday Features

Amazon Prime Day is October 13th and 14th. Please remember to support the PTO with your amazon smile accounts.

Next week we welcome back our hybrid students in the building next week. Make sure to check out Mrs. Binford's Back to School night presentation for important information regarding this. A link is included below. Co-hort A starts Monday and Co-hort B students return on Thursday.

Thank you to all those who came to our first PTO meeting. We truly appreciate you taking the time to join us and participate. Any suggestions or ideas are welcome. We promise to do our best to make this year as eventful as we possibly can for our children.

Thank you too everyone who participated in our book fair. We made $392 for the school. The link is still active and will be throughout the year. While we won't earn 25% of sales, as we did during the book fair, we will earn 2% of sales. Every little bit helps, so please consider ordering through scholastic for your book needs.

Don't forget that membership is still open! Join the PTO to help us create lasting memories for our Bears. Fees to join are $10 for families and teachers, and $5 for BGS Aides. Membership grants you free electronic access to our Student Directory. This is especially important now as we try to schedule virtual playdates and have the children connect with other children in their classes outside of the google class meets. You can purchase membership via our AtoZ Connect app or by returning the form below in an envelope marked "PTO Membership". You can return the form when we return to school. However, in order to expedite the process, I recommend you use paypal or a credit card. If you have any questions or concerns please send me an email.

If you want your information to be visible in the directory make sure to choose the "OPT IN" option when you enter your data.

Have a great week!

Briana George, PTO President
