This Week at BLE

For the month of November, we are looking forward to focusing on Gratitude! One way to think about Gratitude is “choosing to appreciate the people and things in our lives.” Practicing Gratitude can increase our well-being and our happiness. As a family activity, think about some small, specific things that you are grateful for. Maybe it is your favorite water cup, the way the cat sleeps on the chair, or when your grandma bakes banana bread. Spend some time as a family trying to think of at least 10 small things that you have Gratitude for and then choose to notice them this week, recognize their importance to you, and share this with others.

Below you will find a link to a google survey. Please click the link and share with us something that you are thankful for at BLE. We will share your messages with the staff! Thank you for taking the time to let us know what you love about our school.

Conferencing with families is an opportunity to build connections and partnerships that will help us ensure the learning of each student. We would like to meet with EVERY student and their family during the fall conferences. We look forward to connecting with you and your student about their growth and their goals!

Conferences will be held at our campus on November 16th, 17th, and 18th. Monday, November 21st is a regular late start day. Tuesday, November 22nd is early dismissal at 12:15. If you still need to schedule a conference please reach out to us or email your student's teacher.

This event has become the community’s collective tool to supply Thanksgiving meals to those in need each year. The Community Big Give is only possible through the generous gifts of people’s time and finances. Would you consider volunteering at this year’s event and making a donation to the Community Big Give? Each complete meal only costs $35. Let’s help families have a great Thanksgiving. If you would like to learn more about the Community Big Give, please look at their website.

This year, the Big Give will be on November 19th. If you would like to get involved, please sign up here. They are still in need of about 126 meal delivery drivers and about 10 food bank pick-up volunteer spots.

This Friday there is no school as we honor the Veterans Day holiday. You should have seen an "Honoring a Veteran" certificate come home in your student's backpack. Please feel free to fill it out, decorate it and send it back to school with your student. These certificates are proudly displayed throughout our classrooms. Further, each teacher has some special activities planned this week to honor this important day. On Thursday, we will begin the day with some special announcements, a poem and essay to honor our Veterans.
