GARDEN & EDUCATION DAYS

The PTA is thrilled to have Bear parent Ashleigh Livingston as our Garden/Outdoor Classroom committee chair this year. Ashleigh is ​a​ ​holistic​ ​health​ ​and​ ​nutrition​ ​counselor,​ ​Interactive Metronome​ ​Clinician​ ,​ ​an​ ​ADHD​ ​coach, and owner of​​ ​Integrated-Wellness.​ Please join Ashleigh as she leads our first Garden Education Day for children and parents on Saturday, September 16 at 9:00 a.m. in the Bear Garden. The topic is “The Food and Mood Connection,” and the goal is to have lots of FUN with kids in our awesome garden! The education segment will last about 45 minutes, and then we invite you to stay for another 30 minutes to help in the garden. We promise you will be home in time for football!

SPIRIT NIGHTS

In an effort to fellowship throughout the year and raise funds for Bear, several Spirit Nights have been arranged. Participating in the Spirit Nights is easy. Simply visit each business during the specified date and time, make a purchase, and place your receipt in the box next to the register labeled Bear Spirit Night. It’s just that easy! Our first Spirit Night is at Rockin’ Jump Trampoline Park on Thursday, September 28 from 3:30 – 8:00 p.m. The schedule for the year can be found here - Spirit Night Schedule 2017-18. 

Fall is a wonderfully busy time around Bear. We have so much to tell you about, so we hope to see you on Tuesday at our first PTA Meeting!
