Bordeaux Elementary School
Weekly Update - May 5, 2024
Dear Bordeaux Families,
I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing weekend.
This coming week is Teacher Appreciation Week. I am so thankful that I get to work with such amazing educators each and every day. They work tirelessly for the students and give their best 5 days a week - though there are also many hours put in on the weekends. You won’t find a more highly motivated group of educators who strive to bring the best out of their students and hold them to high academic expectations while also building positive and lasting relationships. Students who enter Bordeaux feel loved, cared for, and successful because our hallways are lined with some of the best educators around. I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to lead. If you have a moment, don’t hesitate to reach out and simply say thanks. Just a little acknowledgement goes a long way.
Speaking of a little acknowledgement, this last Wednesday was Principal’s Day. Wrapped up in that is recognition for Assistant Principals. I would like to take a moment to appreciate Mrs. Beutel, or as she’s affectionately called, Mrs. B. Mrs. B is in her second year as assistant principal. She is in constant motion throughout the day, checking in on students and teachers. She knows students by name, story, strength, and need and works to hold them to high behavioral expectations through positive relationships. I couldn’t lead the building without an effective assistant principal, and I’m glad to have Mrs. B by my side.
Our 4th graders completed their first week of testing and now it’s our 3rd graders’ turn. Please join me in wishing them success on this opportunity to showcase what they have learned over the past four years of their academic journey.
Please see the attached brochure for an opportunity to see Ballet Northwest for free this coming weekend. Seats are limited, but there are still some available.
It’s a full week of school as we enter the second week of May and always, it’s a great week to be a Bordeaux Bulldog!
