Feeder Times

Parents,
Apparently there is something going on with Blogger and my posts are going on late.  I've called and found that if the gmail server is "bogged down" the blog posts will come out late.  I'm sorry for this inconvenience.  If you have any questions about our events, please check the blog (it gets posted immediately, but if you are signed up through email this is what is being sent late by the server) or the main school website.  We have some wonderful things going on here at school and I want to be sure you are informed!  Please call me if you have any questions at 919-890-7333.  :) Mrs. Graf

Want to get involved?

 

We have some open slots open for those of you interested in volunteering to provide a lesson on Character Education. Volunteers are asked to sign up on the BRES website under the "Character Education" tab, and be sure to register as a volunteer in the media center on a Monday to be cleared by Wake County. Also, no need to worry if you do not have teaching experience, all materials and updated lesson plans are provided in advance in the guidance office- updated, parent-friendly, and ready to go! You can even grab a lesson plan to peruse at home if you'd like. :) AND, of course, we thank you in advance for being a role model to our students and working with us to provide character education at Banks.

Boosterthon Collection Day 2

Calling all Trailblazer Fun Run students,

Tomorrow is our second collection day for our Boosterthon Fun Run.  Any pledges turned in tomorrow can be given to the classroom teacher.  Our school profit is just over $10,000 with the current amount of pledges already submitted.  We have collected about 44% of the pledges thus far.  If all of the pledges are collected we could raise an additional $12, 500.00 for a total of approximately $22,000!  This would be AMAZING!  Have questions about a pledge or the collection process?  Please contact the school the school and we will do our best to support you.
