Today was a Thrilling Thursday!

Please make sure your child has pencils in his/her binder!

Several students need a pair of school scissors.

CONFERENCES...Conferences are approaching on Wednesday November 12th and Thursday November 13th. The sign-up sheets are now posted outside the classroom door. Please sign up for a time slot, or email me and I will sign up for YOU!


SUPPLIES...I have had several kind parents email me to ask what they can donate to our classroom. Thank you, but I am not allowed to ask for donations! However, if you are at the store and things just happen to fall into your cart, we always are in need of paper towel, Kleenex, pencils, and Lysol wipes. These items would also just have to fall into my classroom and I would not know how they got there!!! Thank you for your generosity. I appreciate you!!!



REFLECTIONS CONTEST...Feeling creative? Are you good at Art, dance, photography, writing, music or movie making? Then you should seriously consider entering this year’s Reflections competition: This year’s theme is “WOW!” Please pick up an entry form packet from your teacher, or the office. The deadline for all entries is December 9th.


PARENT REPRESENTATIVE…Would you be available on Sunday to act as a parent representative in our classroom during open house? Open house is from 1-3. If you can stay the entire time or a portion of the time, we would appreciate having your help! I will be in the room with you as well as a few of our students. Your job would be to answer questions from a parent perspective and tell parents all of the positive things you have experienced here at BCS!!! Please email me to let me know if you are available for any portion of the time! Thanks, Scarlet sb07bps@birmingham.k12.mi.us
