Principal’s Update
December was very busy at school and January has slowed down
Morning announcements have transitioned to being completely student led. Looking for other areas to give the students more responsibility.
Winter market was successful - kids had great experiences and around $300 was raised toward adopt a family.
Bay Harbor staff adopts a family, a Girl Scout troop adopts a family, Lion’s Club adopts a family - in all 6 families were adopted.
Apparel order was completed in December and may do another order in the spring.
Tomorrow is Bay Harbor Day!
Mid Year assessments will be completed in January.
Get fit for GRIT will be the new initiative replacing Jump Rope for Heart (at Bay Harbor).
This is a partnership with BODE to assist in building a new facility for those who need more adaptive equipment.
GRIT - Greatness requires internal toughness.
Watch for a flier coming home soon.

~GIVING TREE LETTER~
Thank you for helping us serve over 600 families for our Holiday Store and pantry in December. As the new year arrives, many of us think of organizing and cleaning up from the Holidays to start fresh in the new year. For this reason this month we are collecting household cleaning products that we can have available at pantry. Please feel free to send donations in a plastic bag with your students to put in the collections bins/carts near the main office of school. Items can also be dropped off during school hours. The Giving Tree appreciates your continued support.
