Hello Bothwell Families!
What a fantastic week at Bothwell! We have been busy learning, celebrating our amazing community, and getting ready for Celina Homecoming! From classroom learning to celebrating all things Celina, it has been a week full of fun, Bobcat spirit, and special memories.
Be sure to visit our Bothwell Facebook page to see pictures from the Celina Homecoming Parade and our Student Engagement Day as we celebrated Celina! We love sharing these special moments with our Bothwell Family.
We hope everyone has a wonderful Homecoming weekend! Go Bobcats! 🧡🤍
All the BESt,

Book Fair and Lunch with Loved Ones
Grab your flashlights and get ready, because the Literati Book Fair is coming to our school! This year's theme is Campfire Magic!
Come cozy up with stories about animals, adventures, silly jokes, and so much more. There's a book waiting just for you! Bring your family, bring your friends, and let's make some reading magic together!
Every purchase, whether in person or online, directly supports the BES library.
Lunch with Loved Ones. If you would like to attend, please be sure to preregister. Preregistration will help us streamline the check-in process and maximize your time on campus with your student. Based on the number of guests, lunch locations may include the courtyard, main hallway, or cafeteria to ensure a welcoming and enjoyable experience for everyone. We are excited for the Fall Book Fair and look forward to welcoming our loved ones to campus!

Spirit Days at Bothwell
Spirit Days are extra fun! At Bothwell, we love joining in on district dress-up days.
Spirit days are never required, but it’s always a blast when our Bobcats get creative, show their spirit, and make fun memories together. If you don’t have the items for the designated day, you can always wear your favorite orange and white. We never want families to spend money on dress-up days; get creative and use what you can find at home!
Here is a tentative list of Dress Up Days based on district and campus events:
- Friday, October 23rd - Superhero Day
- Monday, October 26th - Crazy Socks
- Tuesday, October 27th- Red Day
- Wednesday, October 28th - PJ Day
