Broadmoor's Weekly Wildcat News!

Dear BES Families,

We are underway for sure! This past week our students were immersed in procedures, schedules, routines, assessments, and more! It was a circus at times - but a fun and exciting one as we are all figuring it out together!

I wanted to highlight our Glow Bash that is coming up on September 6th. This is our school's main fundraiser for the year - and it is a party! Your family is invited to come to Wildcat Stadium from 7-9pm.

We need your help to make this successful!

• Our goal this year is $8,000. If every student collects at least $25, we will meet our goal.
• Every child who turns in their packet (even if they don’t collect any money) will receive a glow surprise at the Glow Bash. Packets can be turned in at the glow bash event or into the office.
• Have your child dressed up in their favorite GLOW gear Kids/Families can walk their laps around the track and play games at the stadium. We will not be inside BES this year.
• We will have glow items for sale in our Wildcat Glow Bash store!
• Food trucks will be available for eats and treats!

Donations raised will help fund items such as field trips, books sets, end-of-year parties, our YEARLY CHIEFS SUPER BOWL EXTRAVAGANZA, and more!

Prizes:

· The grade that collects the most money will win a special day of PE using the inflatables!

· The student that collects the most money in each grade will get lunch out with Mrs. Apple!

· The top collecting student at the school will be Principal for the Day!

You may begin collecting donations immediately. We encourage everyone to ask family, friends, co-workers, etc. Some employers may have matching donation programs. Please DO NOT let your child go door-to-door to collect donations. Donations in the form of a check made payable to BES are the most secure way for students to transport money back to school.

Donations may be made with Venmo using the QR code., which you can share on your social media pages for those far away to donate. Very important—Please include “Glowbash-Student Name” in the 'what this is for' box in Venmo. Thank you to our PTO for helping us with Venmo donations!

Have a great week and don't forget, NO SCHOOL on Monday, September 1st due to Labor Day!

Broadmoor Elementary School's Site Council is made up of parents, community members, and school staff. The purpose of the school site council is to provide input to the school on such matters as student learning, education programs, and school improvement planning. The site council also plays an advocacy role for the school and provides ongoing support for the students and staff of the school. We will have a limited number of representatives on our Site Council this year, chosen by a school staff committee.

If you would like to apply to become a member of your child's school site council, please complete the following form and submit it by August 29, 2025. We thank you for your support of our school community!

Please take note of our school calendars when planning your family's vacations.

Attendance is a focus at BES and we want your children at school! It can be very difficult for students to get caught up sometimes when they miss for extended periods of time. For example, when a student misses a week of school, that is up to 450 minutes of math instruction they are missing!

If your family does have a trip planned, we do not provide lessons or materials ahead of those trips. Teachers will work with you to schedule times when your student can be given that instruction and guided work time to ensure mastery of skills. This may have to happen before or after school, but we will also try to work during the school day as well.

GREAT school habits now help prepare students for future success!
