Bernardo Parent Bulletin #15

Thank you to all of our parents who came out to watch our Halloween Parade! We had a tremendous amount of visitors and it was great to see our students excited. Check out our Bernardo Facebook page for a video of the dance taken by Mr. Wayne. Thank you for Mr. Kwiatkowski and Mrs. Vinje for teaching our students the dance.

All Veterans and Active Duty Military Personnel are invited to our upcoming Veterans Day Celebration this Thursday, November 10 from 8:15-9:00.

We're excited to hold an outdoor assembly followed by our guests visiting classrooms to share about their experiences. We'll also be putting together a slide show featuring photos of our guests in the military attire.

If you are a Veteran or Active-Duty Member or know someone who is that would like to join us for our celebration, please complete the Google Form below so that we can plan accordingly.

Congratulations to Mr. Boyce's class for donating the most candy after Halloween this week with 58 pounds of candy. They will enjoy an extra recess for their generosity. The runner-up was Mr. Flores' class with 43 pounds of candy.

As their annual community service project, our 5th grade classes will be spearheading a food drive from November 1 through November 18 to support families in need. Thank you for considering how you can support this great cause.
