Bobcat Bulletin - FAMILY EDITION

🌟 Week 32 Principal Message 🌟

Bobcat Families, thank you for your continued partnership as we move into a busy and exciting stretch of April. Our students are working hard, showing growth, and demonstrating resilience as we enter the heart of STAAR season. Your support at home — ensuring students arrive on time, well‑rested, and ready to learn — makes a tremendous difference.

This month brings a blend of important academic milestones and joyful campus traditions. From our 5th graders tackling STAAR Science, to our Fiesta Float Parade, to the kickoff of our APEX Fun Run Fundraiser, there are so many opportunities for our Bobcats to shine. We appreciate you staying connected, checking weekly updates, and celebrating these moments with us.

Thank you for being an essential part of our Copperfield community. Together, we make every week a great week for our Bobcats! 💙🐾

📚 National Poetry Month – Family Poetry Project

Hello Copperfield families!

April is National Poetry Month, and we’d love for each family to join in the celebration by creating a poem about your family. Your poem can include anything you’d like to share—your likes, dislikes, hobbies, talents, traditions, or special people or pets. Feel free to decorate your poem and make it uniquely yours.

Here are some examples of poetry types perfect for elementary students: Types of Poetry

Please include your student’s name and teacher’s name on the poem. All poems should be turned in to the Copperfield Library before the end of April so they can be displayed in honor of National Poetry Month.

We can’t wait to showcase your creativity!
