Did You Fill Out Your Member Directory Info?

If you paid your PTO membership dues, you should have received an email one or more times last year inviting you to complete our member directory. You can include whatever information you prefer to share - maybe it's just an email, maybe it's your address. Families rely on this as a great source of information when trying to put together play dates, birthday parties, or even looking for a carpool buddy.

If you don't remember filling it out already, we encourage you to check your email (along with any spam filters, promotional folders, etc.) for a note either from bgsptopresident@gmail.com or from Signup Genius on behalf of the PTO. We'll be sending another reminder email again next week to those who are members but haven't submitted their information, so be on the lookout for those instructions mid-next week.

Remember that only PTO members can be included and receive access to the student directory. Still haven't become a PTO member? Don't worry - there's still time! Either pay membership dues online or send $15 (or checks made payable to BGS PTO) to school in an envelope marked "BGS PTO Membership" and include your children's names/teachers.

Save the Date for Upcoming Fun

It may be winter outside, but we're going to channel some summer vibes. Join us for an evening of fun and prizes at Beach Blanket Bingo on Friday, January 18 at 7 PM. We'll bring the bingo sheets and kid-friendly prizes - you just need to bring a beach towel and wear your best Hawaiian shirt, sunglasses or whatever screams summer to you!

Our BGS Wellness Committee wants to get you up and moving at this year's Fitness Night on Wednesday, January 30 (snow date is Friday, February 1). This annual favorite challenges our Bears to kick off a healthy new year while we raise money for charity. More details and opportunities to help out coming soon.
