Broadwater Bulletin

Hello Broadwater Families,

I can't believe it is May! I hope you had a great "longer" weekend. The weather was beautiful and the parade was fantastic!

It is Teacher Appreciation Week and at Broadwater we have some of the best. Besides celebrating the staff we will also have some fun spirit days:

Monday- reversal day: Students dress like teachers, teachers dress like students

Tuesday-Wear your teacher's favorite color (ask them, if you forget mine is pink)

Wednesday- denim and Cub shirts

Thursday-wear your teacher favorite team colors (like blue and gold)

Friday- comfy clothes, pajamas

Spirit days are always optional!

Running club continues every Thursday afternoon at recess. Thank you to the volunteers for the music, bubble and cheering.

Lots of events are happening, please see the events at the end of this newsletter and don't forget to read all of your student's communications from their teacher.

It is a B Week.

And as always, it is a great day to be a Cub!

Ms. Boedecker

• Poor attendance can influence whether children read proficiently by the end of third grade.
• When students improve their attendance rates, they improve their academic prospects and chances for graduating.
