Note from the Principal
I just have a short note this week. I'm out of town on Friday, so sending an early Dayette. Thanks so much to the students and families who beautified our playground, walk ways, and flower beds. It's lovely and the kids appreciate the color! Have a great week and I'll be back with more Dayette next Friday.
October 30 is Fancy Dress Day!
Our spirit day theme for October's assembly is "Dress Your Best" Day on October 30th! This is your chance to dress up and look sharp. Think of it as a special occasion: wear your finest clothes, like a fancy dress, a nice button-down shirt, a vest, a blazer, or even a sparkling jacket! Don't worry if you don't have a new outfit—you can also show your spirit by wearing your nicest jeans with a bright shirt or adding a special accessory like a clean baseball cap, a colorful scarf, or even just your shiniest shoes! You can accessorize with bowties, sparkly headbands, fun jewelry, or anything that makes you feel fancy. The goal is to dress to the nines!
We'll be awarding prizes for both Best Dressed and Most Participation to classes in both the K-2 and 3-5 grade bands, so let's see your school spirit shine!
B.F. Day's Tradition of Inclusion
Families, Thank you for honoring our tradition of keeping costumes at home as Halloween approaches. We want all of our students to attend school and have maintained a tradition of having inclusive events and activities. Each month we have an all school assembly, and that day is also partnered with a spirit day. Last month was school colors and gear day. This month it's Fancy Dress. You are appreciated for all you do to support all of our students!

Volunteer in the Art Room
Ms. Segura is looking for volunteers to help throughout the school year with hanging and removing student work from hallway walls, joining art class as a volunteer, or preparing art activities for school events such as Bring Your Family to School Night, and Arts & Letters Night!
Contact Ms. Segura through Talking Points or email to learn more. 😊
Volunteer in the Music Room with 2nd Grade
Our second-grade musicians are in the throes of the SPS second grade baseline assessment where they get to show what they know about creating, writing and reading rhythm patterns. We completed the creating and writing portion this past week and will move on to the reading portion next week. To allow me to give my full attention to each student as they read their musical creations to me, I need an extra adult or two to help support the rest of the class in completing quiet, independent activities. If you are an approved volunteer and would be willing to serve in this role, please email me at bjgrant@seattleschools.org with the following information:
- Your name
- Your BF Day student(s) - does not have to be a second grader
- Your availability (Tuesday 10/20 and/or Thursday 10/22) from 1:35-2:10 p.m.
Second grade music classes begin at 1:35 p.m. and conclude at 2:10 p.m. Please arrive early enough to check in at the office and walk down to the music room by 1:30 p.m. No need to arrive before 1:30 p.m. as I will be occupied with teaching first grade. I will greet you at the music room door as the first graders are exiting.

🍂Thank You🍁 BF Day community, for showing up and coming out to beautify our school this past weekend! ☀️
We blew, raked and swept so many leaves off the playground, mulched the garden pathways, planted over 100 tulip bulbs and more plants in the landscape, and picked up So Much trash.
