Grade 5 News BSI Events #BetterTogether

Dear BSI Families,

We hope to see you tonight at Spring Family Fun Night! See below, for important upcoming BSI Event dates! Come one, come all from 4:30 – 7pm today, to mingle with BSI family members and staff, collaborate in a learning experience with your child, participate in our DESIGN CHALLENGE or fun activity with other BSI students or simply be present to meet, build connections and form new relationships with friends and families! Feel free to bring cousins/siblings/friends! Kids always remember fun moments they’ve had, family experiences they’ve shared and connections they’ve formed, so cheers to collecting more moments together with your child and bridging the home-school connection even closer!

5th grade classes will be visiting the Kindergarten Cafe on Wednesday, May 30th. Please make sure to send your child in with a couple of dollars. The cost of each item is $1. There will be smoothies and other snacks provided.

 

Second Grade Post Office

POST-OFFICE-1

The 2nd grade post office is up and running. Students may bring in $1 to purchase stamps. Feel free to encourage your children to write letters at home to their buddy classes, to other BSI students and staff members (Teachers, Office Administration, Custodian Worker, Cafeteria Worker, School Safety Agents etc.) It’s always nice to receive mail, but it’s even better to give! There is a mailbox where you can drop off sealed, stamped and addressed envelopes in front of the BSI Main Office, 4th floor (just in case family members wanted to write and send a letter to their OWN child, too!)
