February brings events to BRES! The Media Center is now the Luau Book Fair. Ms. DiBona, Ms. Davis and our parent volunteers have prepared the Media Center for classes to come through and preview the great classics, the hot new books (Justin Beiber and Taylor Swift biographies are sure to be hits this year) and many other wonderful books and materials from the Scholastic Company.
You will have an opportunity to join in the Luau fun by attending our Family Book Fair Night. You can pre-purchase a ticket for a meal provided by the PTA, listen to Moonlight Reading, peruse the beautiful new books and make a purchase all to support our Media Center. Family Book Fair Night is February 9th from 5:30-8:00. I hope you can come out as it is sure to be a hit!
Friday brings a Cultural Awareness Program to BRES. Our PTA has sponsored several programs for our students to participate in this school year. We are excited to hear "Transit" a band that makes wonderful music--all with only one instrument--their voice! I have had the opportunity to see this group before and can tell you that the students and teachers are in for a real treat!
The PTA Board Meeting has been rescheduled for the 13th at 9:30 a.m. This is a change from the 14th at 6:30. We always welcome you to attend and hear the wonderful things that the PTA is working on to support the school. We meet in the Media Center.
Early Release is scheduled for Friday, February 17th. We will begin dismissal at 1:15. Please call the school early or send in a note if your child will need a change in transportation.
We will continue to blaze down the trail to success here at Banks as we move into February!
