Good evening Trailblazers,
Happy Monday to you!
Thank you for coming out to support our PTA and BRES at Pelican’s on 401 this past Thursday evening. Our next Spirit night is scheduled for September 12th at McDonald’s in Fuquay Varina from 5-8 p.m.
Speaking of our PTA, the clothing drive has been extended. We are in need of specific sizes and items. Please call the school or visit the school website for this information. I appreciate your support with this drive.
Early Release dismissal went smoothly for all of our students on the bus and carpool. I know the carpool was line was long, but we made it went quickly once it started moving. Thank you for adhering to our carpool expectations . Once we dismissed the students, our staff engaged in professional development related to best practices with Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) and Teacher Leader Corps. Both of these sessions will result in direct positive work with our students in the classrooms!
This week we have no before or after-school activities. Banks Boomers Chorus students there is NO practice tomorrow, Tuesday 27th due to Ms. Loftin’s track out. Boomer’s practice will pick back up next Tuesday morning, September 3rd.
