Book Fair
Our annual Bear Book Fair will be from 8am-4pm on March 2-6. Tuesday, March 3, is Pastry for Parents in the Bear Media Center.  This is a time set apart for you as a parent to come with your child for a morning snack and shopping. The hours are from 7:30 to 8:40. Your child will go to class when the bell rings at 8:30 to be marked present, so come early.  

Spirit Night!
Our next spirit night at Chuck-E-Cheese is March 6th!!!  More information will be coming home this week!

Fun Run
Parents and Families—we are so excited for the BEAR FUN RUN! It’s a two-week program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on Monday, March 23rd! Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps) at the BEAR FUN RUN, which will happen on April 3rd. This year our goal is to raise $20,000 for Interactive Boards and Techonolgy Updates, and we need your help! We’ve asked the experts at Booster to power our fundraiser to make it easier, more profitable, and more fun.

Students will also experience an amazing character theme, MINDSPARK: WILD WEST! Booster’s most exciting theme yet combines S.T.E.A.M. skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) with character-building. While they're teaming up with the MindSpark Kids to save Dr. Shock, our students will learn five character traits (Honesty, Gratitude, Generosity, Kindness, and Humility) that will help strengthen themselves and our world.

Donations will go toward Interactive Boards and Technology Updates and the entire two-week experience. So please help our school by getting pledges from family and friends and entering them on FUNRUN.COM. Also, all families are invited to come out and cheer on our students at the Bear Fun Run on April 3rd. Thanks so much for your support!

Our annual Bear Art Show will be April 22nd.  Please consider volunteering to help with this awesome show! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080D44A9A62FA7FC1-artshow1
