Bear PTA News - March 4, 2019

PTA Meeting
Join us for our next PTA Meeting on Tuesday, March 12 in the Bear Cafeteria. We will feature performances by the Honor Choir, Jump Rope Team and Baton class. And come hungry because we will be serving hot dogs, chips and drinks free of charge. We also will present the slate of PTA officers for the 2019-20 school year. If for any reason you need an interpreter for any PTA meeting or event, please let us know. We are happy to provide one for you!

Book Fair
Come support the Bear Library by shopping at the Book Fair this entire week. Tomorrow (Tuesday, March 5) is Pastries with Parents (AKA – DOUGHNUTS for all!). Students must return to class by 8:30. We take cash, check, or credit cards. There are still a few volunteer spots left this week if you want to help. Sign up here.

Spirit Night
Our next Spirit Night is at Chuck E. Cheese’s on Thursday, March 14 from 3:00 – 9:00 pm. Have fun and support your school!

Specialist Spotlight
The Specialist Spotlight for March are the extra SPECIAL teachers in our Resource Room - Mrs. Eagerton, Speech, and Mrs. Cross, Special Education. Items on their wish lists include Lysol wipes, dry erase markers, sticky notes, facial tissues and paper towels. Thank you, parents and students, for supporting our specialists all year long!

National PTA School of Excellence
The Bear PTA has applied to become a National PTA School of Excellence.  We were asked to Improve Education by Increasing Family Engagement while Supporting Student Success.  


The Bear PTA worked toward this objective by hosting Floyd Magnet Middle Schools Principal, Mr. Vince Johnson, as well as the 6th grade teachers at our January PTA meeting where they discussed the transition to middle school. It was a great opportunity to support your child’s success!

After Spring Break we will be having transition meetings for all grade levels where you will be able to meet with your child’s next year teacher(s). This informative transition meeting will provide insight on the current curriculum, how to help your child master standards, and ways to support your child over the summer to reduce skill gaps and ensure they are successful for the next school year.

If you can think of any other ways to help us meet our objective, you can email Jill Sexton at jasexton23@yahoo.com.  

Addition to County Reflections Winners
Oops... we accidentally forgot to list one of the Bear students who won an award at the Montgomery County Reflections contest. Photography/Intermediate - 2nd Place - Yates Gunnells. Congratulations to Yates!
