Note from the Principal
Dear Basswood Families,
There are two reasons to come to Basswood this evening. Come on over!
1. BOOK FAIR: The Book Fair will be open until 7:00 this evening.
2. SPAGHETTI DINNER: It is not too late to make plans to join us for the Spaghetti Dinner this evening. This event is sponsored by Basswood Gives Back, and proceeds from this event go back into our community where there are needs. Non-perishable food is being collected and there is a child-friendly service project hosted by our student leaders. Cash and Venmo are accepted.
We hope to see you tonight!
Steven Schwartz
Basswood Principal
