SUMMER PACKETS
Thank you to the 104 students who turned in Summer Skills Review Packets. You guys did awesome work this summer. Prizes will be distributed to these superstar students next week.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON 
The Bear PTA is heartbroken over the devastating fire that occurred at BTW this past weekend. The magnet schools in town have come together to serve meals to BTW teachers and staff this week while they are transitioning to a  new location. Bear PTA will be providing the meal for them on Thursday. We are working with the BTW PTSA and the Bear administration to determine how our school can best show support to our fellow MPS magnet school. Stay tuned!
