Weekly Bulldog Bits
for the week of January 20th
As a reminder, please practice both car and pedestrian safety at all times. We, as a community, need to be vigilant of both students and adults driving and walking around our schools. Every street in our community should be respected so that safety is the highest priority, even the smaller roads. Remind your Bulldogs and others to cross streets safely and use crosswalks for better visibility. Follow rules set up by the city about not turning left from our Valet Loop and drive with caution on our surrounding roads. Ensure a complete stop when at stop signs and be aware of students/adults coming into the intersections. Thank you for helping to keep our community safe.
It's not too late to participate or pick up a board for our Hirsch Elementary Science Fair! Packets are available for your student in the office, but you are also able to download the packet below this post. If your student is in need of a science board you can pick one up in the office. This year we are requesting a donation for science boards of $4 for 24x36 and $5 for 36x48. Science boards can be picked up with a completed participation form in the office between 8-3:30 pm. Due date for science fair projects is January 31, 2025.
Participation in the science fair is not mandatory. Good luck to all!
