10/25/26 Bulletin

Welcome back, Bears! 🐻🍂

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Harvest Festival this past Friday—and to everyone who helped make the evening such a success!

We’re looking forward to wrapping up October with Red Ribbon Week and Spirit Week. Please see the flyer below for details. Students are also finishing their first-quarter writing and completing their first writing benchmark in class. It’s incredible to see how much their writing has grown!

Have a wonderful week Borchardt Bears!

Principal, Borchardt Elementary

Red Ribbon Week is October 26–30! We’re celebrating a healthy, drug-free lifestyle with fun spirit days all week. Wear red on Monday, animal print on Tuesday, tutus or ties on Wednesday, and a sports shirt or jersey on Thursday. On Friday, wear orange and black or a school-appropriate costume—please remember, no face masks or weapons. We can’t wait to see everyone join in!

Does your student love to sing, play an instrument, or be part of something special? Invite them to join our after-school A Very Merry Musical Mashup Winter Show! Practices are Thursdays from 2:30–4:00 p.m., beginning October 29. Permission slips will be sent home; please return them by October 26. The dress rehearsal is December 15, and the performance is December 17. We can’t wait to make music together!

Thank you to all of our families who came out to volunteer at our Harvest Festival Friday Night! None of this could have happened without all of our helping hands. We are always looking forward to meeting new families and growing our PTO.

Our next meeting will be on December 1st.

You are always welcome to reach out to Borchardt PTO at BorchardtPTO@gmail.com to inquire on ways to help.

Borchardt Families,

On Tuesday, November 3 our campus will serve as a polling location for the Midterm General Election. Due to this, you will notice additional activity on campus from . Polls will be open from 6:00 am to 8:30 pm near the portables.

Our school and district staff have planned accordingly to ensure that there will be minimal disruptions to the school day during voting times. Students will not access the back portables on this day. Additionally, hired security will be present on campus to help ensure that voters remain within designated voting areas.

Thank you for your understanding.
