Trailblazers,
Here are few updates and reminders.
Beautification Day IS SATURDAY, April 5th from 8:30 - 12:30 p.m.. We need your help to spread mulch. Please bring a wheelbarrow, garden gloves, pitch forks, and rakes. Any students that attend will receive a COMPASS COIN for their class. Remember, you do not have to be there the entire time, just stop by when you can. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
The Fun Run was amazing yesterday. We had a great turn out of parents, grandparents and family friends. Students felt supported and walked or ran the entire time. Don't forget that for every $10 collected by April 15, that student's name will be put in the drawing for a $75 gift certificate from Feet Fleet. ALL Money is due by May 2nd. At last count, we have raised almost $10,000 for new technology for BRES students! Amazing Trailblazers! A big thank you goes out to our PTA and all of the volunteers for their support in making our Fun Run a wonderful experience for our students.
Carpool is changing! In an effort to reduce the traffic out on Banks Road we will begin a double carpool loading zone with in the next two weeks. You may notice new markings in our drive way on Monday, specifically outlining the bus lanes and the carpool lane. The new markings will specifically show where the carpool changes from a single lane to a double lane. The double lane will allow for additional vehicles to line up for carpool and move towards the student loading zone. Additionally markings and signage will indicate where vehicles should stop and remain stopped until directed to the loading zone by a school staff member. Our first priority is student safety in carpool and local law enforcement and WCPSS Facilities staff members will be assisting us in making this transition as well. I will be sending out specific information regarding these upcoming changes to all carpool parents.
Please call the school with any questions about the content of this message.
My Banks Best, Mrs. Graf
