Upcoming Dates:
Hi, awesome BFD families and book-lovers! The Global Reading Challenge is approaching, and we’re looking for your help!
What it is: Fourth and Fifth graders who choose to participate form into teams, read a pre-chosen list of 10 books (not every kid on the team needs to read every book), then in mid-February, the teams participate in a quiz show-style competition in the gym. Teams try to correctly answer as many questions about the books as possible. The winning team then competes against other schools, until the city championship.
What we need: Volunteers who can help out on Thursday lunchtimes from the end of Nov to midFeb, 12:05-12:45ish, to help our kiddos determine team names, make posters, make sure all books are assigned to readers, practice answering questions about the books, etc. In general, just be awesome reading mentors.
What you get: A chance to get to know some of our amazing mini middle school students, have some great conversations about books, and help our fmily school. Win/win/win!
For those interested, here’s this year’s list of books: https://www.spl.org/programs-andservices/learning/global-reading-challenge/2019-global-reading-challenge-booklist Please let us know if you can help. It’s going to be fun :)
There are still three filled Lost & Found in your building. The main one is still located in the northeast entrance, our most used entrance, and is currently full of great coats, lunchboxes, water bottles, books, etc. A small container for small lost items is on the office front on a table. Mini-middle school has a pile of lost items outside room 309. We will strive to hang up items along the main, 2nd floor hall during conferences.
The Student Council is beginning a food drive. This food drive will be going to University district food bank. The student council recommends canned nonperishable food. Especially,
With your donations, the student council will send this food to the university district food bank that serves 72,800 households a year. As the family school, we believe in helping those in need and helping support our brothers and sisters. Thank you for donating!
