B.F. Day PTSA
We are families, students, staff, community leaders, and teachers who work for the success of each student learner
News
Thursday, Nov 5, 5:30-6:30pm: Come tour your child’s classroom, explore student work, and see everything they’ve been learning and creating!
Thursday, Nov 5: Families who missed picture day/would like a retake can preorder makeup portraits here. Please let your students’ teacher know if you’d like one. Preordered packages can be exchanged for a retake at no extra charge.
View and order pictures here. (Makeup portraits will be available about 2 weeks after taking them).
Oct 30 – Nov 13: This is our biggest fundraiser of the year! Please check your student’s backpack for a golden envelope. We ask each family to give an amount that is meaningful to them – every contribution of any size helps, especially with the recent SPS budget cuts. Â
Please send the golden envelope back to school with your child by 11/13. You can also drop it off at the school office. If 80% of envelopes are returned school wide, we will have a very special visitor at the November all-school assembly. Classes with 100% participation will have their own meet & greet!
