9 more days of school!

• Thank you to all staff, students, and the BFES community for making our testing environment so calm the last two weeks.
• Field Day is Tuesday!  If it rains it will be Wednesday, then Thursday and so on.  Right now, the weather looks great!  There are more water activities this year.  I know the students like to get wet and I want them to be prepared for whatever will make the rest of the day more comfortable (towels, shirt change)
• Medications at School:  As the school year winds down, please don’t forget to pick up and medications or supplies your child may have in the school clinic.  All medication (prescriptions and over the counter) must be picked up by Friday, May 22^nd at 12:00pm.  After that, all medications will be discarded as we cannot store medications over the summer.  Mrs. Huffman will be at carpool on the last day of school, and you can grab the medications then if that is more convenient for you.
• Need School Supplies for next school year?  Visit here and enter code:  65522.  Orders close on May 28^th.  Go ahead and get it checked off the list.  These are not refundable.  If you move, you will still be able to pick up your supplies, though.
• Congratulations to second grade teacher Michele Culbertson. She was voted on to our School Governance Council to represent our staff!                       Congratulations to parent Will Hunter.  He was recently voted onto our School Governance Council to represent the parent community.
