We're excited to announce our first monthly Dine & Donate fundraiser. If you're not familiar, these are low effort ways for your family to help support BGS while also giving you a night off from cooking or providing some treats for your family.

Our October Dine & Donate will be held on Tuesday, October 12 at Smoothie King in Bridgewater (in the Wegmans shopping center). Show the flyer attached below from 2pm to 8 pm on the 12th and BGS will get 20% of all proceeds. Please stop by after school or work and help us continue to fund school improvements (past improvements include our new water filling station, the Gaga pit on the playground, and full renovation of our teacher's lounge - just to name a few)!

The Halloween Hoot is a great BGS tradition. This year due to COVID restrictions, we're taking the fun outside! This year's Hoot will be a FREE Trunk or Treat outside of the school building for all BGS students on the evening of October 29th. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details about attending.

In the meantime, the Halloween Hoot is great fun, but needs your help to run. Please consider decorating a trunk and giving out treats or donating some candy to help our volunteers offset the cost of hosting a trunk.

Sign up today for any of these options in PtBoard right on the homepage (scroll down for the signup sheet)!

Don't forget to help your Class Parents fund 3 gifts for your teachers (holiday, teacher appreciation, and end of year gifts), plus offset the cost of supplemental supplies for your class parties. The $20 per student requested goes directly to your class parents and is NOT the same as your PTO membership.

Class parents are already busy planning fun Halloween activities for your classes, so please go into PtBoard ASAP (make sure to scroll down on the homepage) and pay your class funds so they have adequate funds to support these efforts.

Our PTO has limited supply of BGS branded masks available for sale in both adult and youth sizes. Masks have adjustable ear loops and are $10 each. These are a great way to show your school spirit.

They are available on a first come first serve basis in PtBoard. right on the homepage (make sure to scroll down). Once you place an order, we'll be in touch about getting your your items.

We heard you and are working on setting up a new spiritwear sale for this year for all of our students that don't have any. Stay tuned for more details.

In the meantime, we have VERY limited supplies of vintage spiritwear available for sale on a first come first serve basis on PtBoard. Once you place an order, we'll be in touch about getting your your items.

There's still time to get in on our Amazon Gift Card Raffle.

Remember, you earn a chance to win when you complete EACH of the following activities:

• Signup for PtBoard
• Become a PTO Member in PtBoard
  

Two of our teachers suffered catastrophic flooding from Hurricane Ida and lost entire floors of their homes. Many of you have asked how you can help and both impacted teachers indicated that direct monetary donations would be most helpful in replacing lost items and paying for repairs. This is the last call to donate to our flood relief fund. Funds will be donated directly to both teachers.

Please submit any last minute donations by Thursday, October 14th.
