Cards vs Cats - Fundraising for Special Olympics
BCPS is raising money to support Special Olympics. Special Olympics is a global sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, providing year-round training and athletic competition in various sports. It's a movement that promotes inclusion, acceptance, and understanding by giving individuals with intellectual disabilities opportunities to participate in sports and experience the joy of competition.
When?
Between April 28th and May 21st, each school will collect money for Special Olympics through a Cats vs Cards money war.
How?
Students can use their money to vote for UL or UK. We will have collection buckets in the lobby of the school to collect money each morning.
Goal:
At the end of the fundraiser, money will be counted. During the last week of school, the principal of each school will wear the colors of the team with the most support (money) raised at their individual school. Will Mr. Mullins be wearing red or blue all week? Your donations decide!
When the money for all schools is collected and counted, Dr. Bacon (our superintendent) will wear the winning team's colors during the last week of school.
I.D. Reminder
We hate having to turn family away from awards ceremonies and other family events during the school day, but student safety is our first priority.
Lost and Found
The lost and found listing at the link below has been updated! With the nicer weather lately, we are having more items left on the playground and in the halls.
Our lost and found is busting at the seams! Check out this google form where you can view the current items and let us know if any belong to your child so we can reunite them. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfU1boiNfefUf5Eg6XsJXDnYEs-3rQ1PmRTMF6mrJaFmZzMrQ/viewform?usp=preview
