Read Across America Day, also recognized as Dr. Seuss Day, is an annual event that promotes the joy of reading, especially among children. It is celebrated in honor of the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel, famously known as Dr. Seuss. Darlene Denton, our amazing Parent-Volunteer Coordinator, coordinated volunteers to read a Dr. Seuss book to every one of our classes this week! Students will learn about some of the contributions of Dr. Seuss and enjoy some of the iconic stories that have charmed generations.

Bertram's ADA for this past week was 94.76%.

ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. "98 IS Great!", so 98% is our goal! We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able. Let's work toward 98%!

Sandy Hook Promise’s Say Something program teaches students to recognize the warning signs of someone at-risk of hurting themselves or others and how to say something to a trusted adult to get help before a tragedy can occur.

March 1st is Texas Girls in STEM Day! This day marks a chance to celebrate and encourage the participation of girls in this state in fields related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Texas Girls in STEM Day gives many young girls the opportunity to learn, ask questions, and dive deeper into subjects they may not have been encouraged to explore otherwise.
