👋 Dear Booth Hill Families,

March has arrived—whether it came in like a lion or a lamb, I think we can all agree that warmer temperatures would be a welcome change!

We wrapped up a busy and exciting week filled with celebrations, including Dr. Seuss' birthday, the Kids Heart Challenge, and our always-popular Father's Club Pancake Palooza. As we keep March-ing forward, there’s plenty ahead—report cards, conferences, the Scholastic Book Fair, and much more.

Hang in there—we’re in the final stretch of the school year!

Warm regards,

Kevin Chase

TPS, in collaboration with Effective School Solutions, present: A 2025 Parent Workshop Series.

Our Pancake Palooza was such a fun event! Thank you Father's Club!

Wings of Fire Book Club!

I'm excited to spotlight a heartwarming initiative from a group of fourth-grade friends (Caitlin, Charlotte, and Finn) who have formed their very own Wings of Fire Book Club. Their shared passion for the series has not only ignited their love for reading but also created a space for rich discussions and collaborative learning. It's inspiring to see these young readers come together, turning every page into an adventure of partnership, creativity, and lifelong learning.

Mr. Dwelle organized and lead a celebratory Kids Heart Challenge final day!

Dr. Seuss' birthday was celebrated with a hat day!

The annual Barnum Festival dates back to 1948 to help support local businesses and honor P.T. Barnum—a world-renowned showman and city leader. The Barnum Festival spans several weeks in an effort to build community spirit, enrich the lives of Bridgeport residents, and give back, culminating in a weekend-long Barnum Palooza that hosts parades, concerts, fireworks, and other family-friendly events. One of the popular events for the children is the Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren contest.

Although we've had a mild fall, it seems winter weather is fast approaching. Please review BHS's inclement weather adjusted schedules below to ensure you're ready for potential snow or other school day disruptions.
