Bernshausen Community Buzz

Happy May, Bengal Families!
Wow! What a year! It is hard to believe we are entering the final month of the 23-24 school year! It has been a pleasure to watch your children grow, learn, and flourish this school year in both academics and character education!
While the summer is near and school is coming to a close, the learning does not have to come to an end! Be on the lookout for a Summer Letter from our Teachers to help assist with Summer Slide! We encourage you to continue reading, writing, and experiencing math and science in authentic, real-life ways so our Bengals are ready to return in August for the 24-25 school year!
Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6-10! We need YOU to help us celebrate.
Give your favorite Bernshausen teacher a heartfelt video message using this link: kisd.us/mykleinteacher
Be on the lookout for the following items in the Buzz this month:
- 24-25 School Supplies
- KISD Stem Summer Camp (Rising 4th and 5th Grade Students)
- Spirit Night
- Talent Show
- and more!
Looking forward to a GREAT month!

Library Updates from Ms. Jackson
All library books will be due this Friday, May 3. Please assist your Bengal in locating their library books this week. Look under beds, in closets, and on personal bookshelves too! If you need a reminder of what book they're missing, please email me at jjackson5@kleinisd.net
If you know that book has been damaged or lost, please let me know so that I can add the replacement cost to the student school cash account.
