BEH Weekly Family Message
October 14th
Last Week in Review
Summary of the Week:
Last week we closed out the week on Thursday with our Title I and TAG Info Night. We did not have very many families join us for this info, but I did share out the slides in last week's message, so hopefully people were able to review them if they had questions. I linked them above as well if you wanted to review what we covered.
Las week we were also able to get our vote for our student drawn panther drawings and I have started the count of which drawing will be the winner for K-2 & 3-5. I did just get in a few last minute entries, so I should have the official vote counted and results shared by the end of this week. We will then start to work on sourcing a company to make the student T-shirts for us.
We also had our first fully virtual PTA meeting last week and were able to cover a lot of information. If you are interested in joining the PTA in the future, their next meeting will be on December 11th. In November they will be focused on launching the food and gift drives that will begin in December.
What to Watch for This Week:
Picture Day:
This Wednesday, October 16th is our BEH Picture Day. This Picture Day is still a uniform day, as we will have another Picture Day in the spring where we will have free dress. This picture is the one that will end up in the class composite so all students should be in uniform.
Site Council:
No SUN School on Fridays:
This Friday is our first Friday since SUN school started back up. Don't forget that there is no SUN on Fridays, so make sure your child and their teacher know what the plan is for dismissal this Friday if they normally attend SUN School.
Black Community Science Night at OMSI:
OMSI will be hosting a Black Community Science Night this Friday, October 18th from 6:00-9:00PM. You can find more info and buy tickets here.
Looking to the Weeks Ahead:
Early Release is Next Week:
Wednesday, October 23rd is our next PPS early release day. That means that next Wednesday, we need to make sure that all families have a plan for pick up at 11:50 AM on that day.
NO SUN on Early Release Days:
There is no SUN School on Early Release days, but if you are in need of child care please reach out to Ms. Ali at alshawndam@selfenhancement.org to inquire about possible support.
BEH Harvest & Resource Fair:
Next Thursday, October 24th we will host this combined event for the first time. We will have our PTA hosting many fun student focused activities for our Harvest Fair and our Community Resource Team will be hosting many family resources for the adults to gain access to and ask questions of. Look for flyers coming home tomorrow to remind you to save the date and we will share more details in the coming week.
Run for BEH:
Run for BEH flyers and info will be coming home tomorrow as well. Ms. Smith has already been getting the students ready for it in PE this week. This is one of our biggest BEH fundraisers of the school year, and we are hopeful you can help us make it even more successful this year!! The actual run will happen next Friday, October 25th and the PTA is looking for anyone that is able to volunteer at the run to cheer on students and help keep track of laps.
