Hello Bothwell Families!

We had a wonderful week of learning as we returned from the long weekend! Our students jumped right back into their routines, and it has been great to see their excitement, engagement, and continued growth in the classroom.

We are also looking forward to our Multicultural Night next Thursday! This is always a special evening as we come together to celebrate the cultures, traditions, and diversity that make our Bothwell community so strong. There is still time to sign up if your family would like to host a table and share your culture through food, artifacts, clothing, music, or other meaningful items. Your participation helps make this event an unforgettable experience for our students and families.

We hope to see you there and appreciate your continued partnership in making Bothwell such a special place.

All the BESt,

Kristen Aune

In the fall, we hosted Lunch with Loved Ones during the Book Fair and had an amazing turnout! We are excited to offer this opportunity again during our Spring Book Fair. If you would like to attend, please be sure to preregister. Preregistration will help us streamline the check-in process and maximize your time on campus with your student. Based on the number of guests, lunch locations may include the courtyard, main hallway, or cafeteria to ensure a welcoming and enjoyable experience for everyone. We are excited for the Spring Book Fair and look forward to welcoming our loved ones back to campus!

We are excited to share that on March 13th, Bothwell will be participating in our school-wide Innovator’s Day challenge! One of the highlights of the day will be our Egg Drop Project, where students will use creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork to design a way to protect an egg from breaking.

This was one of the most popular days last year, and we are thrilled to bring it back! Our students were incredibly innovative, and it was such a joy to celebrate their creativity and watch their ideas come to life.

We need your help to make this experience possible. We are collecting donated materials that students can use to design and build their projects. You do not need to purchase anything new—many helpful items can come from materials you already have at home. We would love to collect clean, recyclable items such as bubble wrap, foam, sponges, toilet paper rolls, balloons, rubber bands, craft sticks, tape, string, pipe cleaners, cotton balls, straws, coffee filters, and similar materials.

Please note that any items donated will be used for student projects and will not be returned home.

If you are able to contribute, please send materials with your child over the next few weeks. We are grateful for your support in helping create meaningful, hands-on learning experiences for our students.

Thank you for partnering with us to inspire creativity and innovation at Bothwell!

We need you! We would love to celebrate all of the countries and cultures that make Bothwell so special. Please consider signing up to host a table as a Cultural Ambassador.
