Benny Bengal's News Brief

Red Ribbon Week, (indoor) Trunk Or Treat, and the new Musical Minds after school program were big fun for our kiddos last week -- thanks to all of our volunteers, sponsors, and Boggess staff. PTA is proud to bring these events to our school!

We are looking forward to judging the creative PTA Reflections Arts Contest entries (due this Friday!), and we're gearing up for a fantastic Book Fair. Read on to see how you can make it a success!

Thanks,

Sylvia Roy

Every year, Boggess PTA proudly hosts the PTA Reflections Arts Contest. Students can enter their original work in one or more of the categories: Dance, Literature, Music Composition, Visual Arts, Photography, and Film Production. Boggess winners advance to the Plano ISD district competition and potentially all the way to nationals!

2022 THEME: Show Your Voice

DEADLINE: Friday, November 4

ELIGIBILITY: Students must have a PTA member in their household by October 31 to enter. Join now!

MORE DETAILS: View rules and entry form.

2024 THEME CONTEST: Students can also dream up a theme for our future PTA Reflections contest. Winners receive $100! Deadline is November 5, 2022. Submissions can be made here.

The story starts with you! We need volunteers to help with the book fair set up, preview days, and throughout the week. Please consider volunteering if you can. Click here to sign up to volunteer.

Go online to set up an eWallet for your student. You can add cash to their digital account for easy, cashless shopping. Friends and family can even contribute funds! Click here to get started.

Students will get a Book Fair catalog, and each class will visit the library for a preview day to write down their wishlist. Look it over with your student and discuss their choices. There are so many great books to choose from!

Each teacher will have a wishlist of books for their classroom. You can shop at the library or online to purchase books from their wishlist. Let's fill those classroom libraries!

There are many ways to shop:

• In person at the Boggess Library
• Online - with an even bigger selection - at www.scholastic.com/bf/boggess
• During PJ Night

WHAT: Come to school in your comfy pajamas for storytime! Teachers will be reading books throughout the evening. And you can shop for your favorites at our Book Fair!

DATE: Monday, November 7

TIME: 6:00-7:30 p.m.

Our Red Ribbon Week Chair, Claudia Prasauskas, did an AMAZING job making the week memorable for our students. She coordinated the red ribbon decorations, dress-up days, student assembly, special carpool greeters, and more. Thank you, Claudia!
