Happy Back to School, everyone!

BACK-TO-SCHOOL PICNIC
Join us for the Back-to-School Picnic TOMORROW at Vaughn Road Park. Come at 5:30 with your picnic dinner and a blanket/chairs. Don’t forget a couple extra dollars for some delicious Nancy’s Italian Ice. We plan to meet RAIN or SHINE, though obviously we are hoping for SHINE!

DISCOUNT CARDS
Discount Cards are coming home this Thursday. If you have not requested cards, it is not too late. Please contact Traci Schell or fill out this form and turn it in.

SUPER SILENT AUCTION
You know you want those good parking spaces at school. It would make afternoon carpool such a breeze! The Super Silent Auction ends this Thursday. You can learn more about it here. Fill out this form or simply write your name, number and bid amount on a piece of paper. Return your entry to the front office. Bidding starts at $200.

BEAR WEAR
The Bear Wear deadline has been extended tonight through midnight. You can purchase online or by using this form and turning it in to the office by 8:40 tomorrow morning. If you want to order the theme t-shirt, we encourage you to purchase it at this time as supplies will be limited after this order.

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!
