We had a fantastic week at BPS. The energy is high as we head into the final weekend of October. Just a reminder - we will NOT be wearing any costumes or disguises on Monday to keep our learning environment as peaceful and productive as possible. We do not celebrate Halloween at school because not everyone celebrates Halloween!
Have a safe, fun weekend and we'll see you all on Monday!
Best,
Sarah & Chris

Music Notes:
BPS Chorus
BPS Chorus started last week with 4th grade and starts this Tuesday 11/1 with 3rd Grade! Chorus is a singing group that rehearses once a week before school for 3rd and 4th grade students. If your child loves music or singing and would like to have more of it in their week, they should come to the first few rehearsals to see what it is like. Permission slips will be available at rehearsals and will be due by November 22nd.
Chorus Rehearsal Schedule:
3rd Grade - Tuesdays from 7:40-8:10 starts 11/1
