Big afternoon today BFES Bobcats!! 

• We hope to see everyone this afternoon at the Boo Bobcat Bash.  It is from 4pm to 6pm in the BFES Courtyard.  There will be bouncy houses, food, a raffle and so much more.  It’s a great place to come to get your weekend kick-started!  

• October marks National Bullying Prevention Month, and Birmingham Falls is committed to fostering safe and respectful learning environments for all students. In Classroom Counseling and SSS Lessons we will discuss the importance of kindness, empathy, and standing up for others. We will talk about how to solve conflicts.  On Monday, October 6th we will recognize Bullying Prevention Month by encouraging all staff and students to WEAR BLUE and #FCSBeKind 

• We know how much our students love to bring Labubu monster friends and other special items to school. We ask that students please leave these at home. They become distracting and can be misplaced. Thanks for your support with this. 

• Spooky Story Contest Entries for Grades 3 through 8 DUE 10/13 - The Georgia Writers Museum invites students to enter the Spooky Story Contest.  The Georgia Writers Museum is dedicated to inspiring today’s writers and readers and celebrating Georgia’s literary heritage through exhibits, programs, workshops, and student education.

Hooray! We met our next goal of $35K goal last week and are SO close to achieving our next mark of $40K to wrap up our incredible PTO Membership Drive! Can you help us get there if you haven't joined yet? No donation is too small to jump on the bandwagon with us and better our school events & enrichment programming! 

Because we achieved $35K, Mr. Webb & Melissa Morris have to pucker up to kiss a donkey - a promise they made to our students. Stay tuned for the footage on that!
