The next Teacher Appreciation Snack Bar, which is hosted by K-1 families, is on Wednesday, April 9th. Sign up here to contribute items or time (we currently don’t have anyone to help clean up!), or send food through our Amazon wish list.
The STEAM Fair is almost here!
The BRES STEAM Fair is on Saturday! Students will be sharing their own projects in the Science Fair or displaying a STEAM project at the expo. We hope to see many students (and families) there even if they’re not presenting. We have partnered with local scientists and STEM organizations to provide exciting, interactive, and educational demonstrations. Check out more information and resources on our STEAM Day page. You can also enter a raffle to support the Student Government Association, which is raising money for playground equipment.
Mark your calendar for the 3/4 PTA Meeting!
We hope to see lots of faces joining us for this opportunity to engage as a community. In addition to providing announcements, we will host a special guest to learn more about internet safety for our kids. Jaime “Russ” Padre, from the US Secret Service, will share the NetSmartz Presentation on Internet Safety for Parents/Guardians/Communities.
