Dear Bear Creek Families,
Happy Friday! This was an atypical week due to the Tuesday student holiday. We appreciate you assisting us with keeping students on a routine. When students have consistency, we see the stamina for school strengthen. There are so many exciting events in the month of November and the start of December! I am uncertain why October seems to linger and November flies by. Below is an outline of dates to remember. Please use this FORM to RSVP for our Thanksgiving Luncheon. If you have already paid with your child's teacher, no need to pay again. However, completing this form will assist the front office with student check ins. Please complete the form for each child. Thank you for helping us plan for this special event.
Looking ahead:
Family Art Night Thursday, November 14, 2024
Thanksgiving Luncheon Thursday, November 21, 2024
Cub Olympics Friday, November 22, 2024
CAC Meeting Monday, December 2, 2024
Bear Creek Movie Night Friday, December 6, 2024
Science Fair Saturday, December 7, 2024
I also want to take a moment to recognize all of our Veterans. Monday, November 11th, is Veterans Day. A day set aside to recognize all who have served our Nation in the Armed Services. We have received numerous submission of our Bear Creek connected Veterans. These images from service and the stories are displayed outside the cafeteria for all to see. Thank you for sending us your submission. These stories create a real connect for our Cubs. And, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
See you Monday.
Sincerely,
Principal

Please give to Coach Garcia & the miles will be added to school miles. Here is the info. below for the logs. Please print and fill out accordingly.
