Bluffsview Connections

Bluffsview Families,

THANK YOU for taking time to come in and meet with your child(ren)'s teacher this week for conferences. It is always more impactful when home and school are on the same page. If you were not able to make it, please let us know so we can set up a phone conference to at least touch base.

Tomorrow we are off school so our teachers can rest up after a week of late nights. We look forward to next week when we can continue to work the plans we have shared with your for you child. Have a great long weekend!

Honored to be a Bear,

Julie L. Payne, Principal

PS- More Fall Fun on the Horizon!

Bear Run- October 28th at 5:30

Come one, come all! Many of our bears have been working hard at recess running or walking for Cross Country. All students and parents are invited to come run, jog or walk the Bear Run!

Fall Parade and Parties- October 30th at 1:30

Join us behind the school to watch your child parade in their costume for this fun fall tradition. If the weather is bad, the kids will parade inside the school and parents will be able to view from the gym or cafeteria.

Does your child have a dentist they see regularly? Are you having trouble getting them to the dentist with all of your other life events? Please fill out this survey and let us know if you would be intertested in your child visiting at Mobile Dental Clinic right here at Bluffsview!

Our PTA bylaws are currently under construction to update them and make sure they are just as they need to be. There are minor changes outlined in the attached document. We will vote to approve them at our November meeting. Please look it over and let PTA know if you have any questions. Email Sara Grieshop at bluffsview.ptapresident@gmail.com

We are excited for another year of our Bluffsview Bears Cross Country program. We will be running on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday! All students who are interested in running or walking laps on a determined course on the playground on scheduled “Bears Running” days will be able to track their amount of laps across the “season” of recess running. They will earn small reward shoe tokens when having reached various mileage marks over the course of the season. We will also participate in optional races hosted by other Worthington Elementary schools throughout the fall. For more information check out our website and our Facebook page.

Hello!

It finally feels like fall today! I hope you are enjoying the changing leaves and cooler temperatures.

Regardless, I wanted to send a quick reminder that our fall Pen and Tell It! workshops start November 1! These one-day creative writing workshops for 2nd-8th graders, let students use their imaginations and try their hand at different activities. We have everything from rule breaking poetry to pop-up book making to superheroes and more! The classes take place on Sundays, November 8, 15, and 22.

I am attaching our flier in hopes that you can share it however possible with your students. Feel free to email or copy the flyer and you can direct them to the webpage at https://www.thurberhouse.org/pen-and-tell-it where they can get all of the information and register. There are multiple classes to choose from and a 10% discount if you register for more than one class and/or more than one student.

Don’t forget that we can also bring creative writing programs to your school, too! We love visiting classrooms and inspiring students to think about writing in new ways. You can find more information here and reach out to me for our new discount: https://www.thurberhouse.org/community-childrens-writing-programs

Thank you in advance for your assistance in getting the word out about our programs. If you have questions, feel free to contact me at this email or by phone at 614-412-8840.

Happy fall!

Meg
