Booker Elementary Families,


WOW! What an AMAZING week at Booker Elementary! From our award ceremonies to our fabulous Multicultural Program, our Bengals truly shined bright! Our staff and students are incredibly talented, and we already cannot wait to invite our parents back next year to dance, celebrate, and showcase our many cultures together again!


Thank you so much for your patience, cooperation, and support during our campus emergency. With over 250 extra visitors on campus, your partnership helped us respond quickly and safely to assist our staff member. We truly appreciate our Booker families always working together with us to keep our campus safe.


The countdown is officially on! We only have 3.5 days left of school, and what an incredible year it has been! I am beyond proud of the hard work, growth, determination, and Booker Best our scholars have shown all year long. Our commitment to achievement remained at the forefront, and we know our scholars gave it their all!


Let’s continue to finish strong because every day counts! Our final days will be busy with two graduations, celebrations, end-of-year activities, and early release. Help our scholars remember that Doing Their Booker Best is an expectation, every day! We must treat each other with respect and be responsible for our own actions, reactions, words, and behaviors. We know that we can all learn from each other by showing kindness and sharing the responsibility of creating the atmosphere of helping each other be our best self!


Thank you for helping us make this school year so special and we cannot wait to celebrate our Bengals, this week. Once a Bengal, always a Bengal!
