Dear Byam Families,

It's hard to believe we are moving into our final week before Winter Break. We want to thank all our staff and families for working through this week's stomach bug. We have fun theme days every day next week for students and staff. As mentioned below, students can take part in as many or as few of the theme days next week. We're looking forward to the kick off of our theme week with festive hair or hats on Monday.

We'll have a theme dress up week next week, our last week before going into our winter break! Students can take part in any or all theme dress up days, Below is a visual and a link to see a larger view. Looking forward to theme week!

A big thank you to all the families that came out to see us, making the in-person book fair such a great success, and to the parent volunteers who gave us their time and assisted us in-person at the fair! Thank you to Mr. Romac for helping us behind the scenes to store the book fair, and for all of his help getting the book fair out in front of Byam and up and running smoothly each day!
