We have made it through another successful week of school! We were even able to end it with a win by our very own Burke County Bears in the Bear Den! It doesn't get any more perfect than that! We are happy to see the faces of all of our students and staff back at school after the much-needed Labor Day break! From here on out, the Paw Print will be sent out on Wednesdays at 5 PM. The newsletter features sports updates, events in the community, and fun activities for the family... so stay tuned!

NURSES CORNER
The Delta Variant is continuously on the rise so we continue to require our students and staff to wear their masks in and out of the building.
Vaccines are the most efficient way to keep our community safe. Are you looking for an easy way for you and your family to be vaccinated? The Burke County Health Department along with other medical providers are hosting a Covid-19 vaccine walk-in clinic. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are offered for patients 12 and older-your choice of vaccine.
As always, remain washing hands frequently, social distancing when possible, and staying home when you are not feeling well. Stay safe, Burke County!

To the left, is the pet bearded dragon (which is close enough to a iguana to count) of Chloe Lanier, a BCHS junior. Her name is Venus! Fun fact: Iguanas AND bearded dragons eat people so watch out!

100th Bird Dog Cycling Event to be Held in Burke County
Gravel cycling enthusiasts will be coming from as far away as Nebraska and Iowa to compete along the gravel and dirt roads in Burke County. The Chamber is looking forward to welcoming approximately 300 participants who will travel here for the BIRD DOG 100 which is being hosted by Cycling Quests. The first annual event is scheduled for Saturday, November 6th and guests will be here for the majority of the weekend. We will be encouraging the out of town guests to shop and dine in our local establishments and will be offering chamber members the opportunity to provide coupons to help lure the potential customers to your place of business. We will also be looking for volunteers for registration/welcome tables, as well as working the rest stops during the ride on Saturday. Please contact us if you are interested!
Chamber to Relocate Office
The Burke County Chamber of Commerce Office will soon have a new home and it will be located right inside the front doors of the Burke County Historic Courthouse. We are excited about the central location on Liberty Street and look forward to utilizing the large foyer as a showcase for our community. We expect to use this space to welcome large numbers of newcomers and visitors to our area throughout the year. We will be offering chamber members the opportunity to put brochures or business cards in the lobby to promote your business or organization. Plans are to move in the last week in October and officially open our doors on Monday, November 1st.

Blackboard - notifications
The Blackboard mass notification system is useful to BCPS families and our faculty/staff because of its ability to deliver district-level and school-specific notifications.
The school system and schools use your student's information in Power School to send email, phone calls, text messages, and emergency notifications to families.
Efficiency depends greatly on parents/guardians providing us with correct phone numbers and email addresses.
