Theme Night and Ice Cream Social

Tomorrow Night is the BIG  night!  We are looking forward to welcoming all families to the BCHMCPS  Theme Night and Ice Cream Social! The fun will start at 6:00 and go right through to 7:30. So much fun in one night! 
A big part of tomorrow is the PTO ice cream social and the PTO needs your help with this. 

The PTO needs parent helpers to scoop the ice cream from 6pm to 7pm. Even if you  can only do it for 15 minutes that is just fine, please help out by coming to the cafeteria with your willing hands and volunteering spirit!. The PTO appreciates all the help they can get!

Some of the other fun activities:

•  Visit the work done for each grade level's theme!
• People in Our Neighborhood- Kindergarten
• Animal Adaptation- Grade 1

• Raffles! The Garden Committee and the PTO will be holding raffle during Theme Night with some exciting prizes, including prizes from Cape Air, Trader Joe's and Pain D'Avignon. Thanks to the many sponsors who support our school. Please support these businesses who support our school.
•  The Garden Committee and PTO are collecting canned goods, Please consider bringing a canned good item for the Food Drive to support those in need.
• Scavenger Hunt 

Don't forget that the All School Community meeting is tomorrow, 

Thursday November 8th at 9:30 at the HYCC.

Your opinion is so important to us. We want to know what you think of your child’s and your family’s school experience. Please take a few minutes during Theme Night to help us by filling out a survey that will be available to families in the front lobby. This survey is anonymous.

There are three areas in the survey:

·      School Climate

·      School Fit

·      Barriers to Engagement

The survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete and will help us to know more about how to support your child and family.  All families who return the survey during Theme Night will have their name entered into a raffle to win a $25 Amazon gift certificate! Just return the survey in the front lobby and put your name and telephone number on a card that will be put in a bowl. The winner will be notified later this evening!

Thank you!

Chipotle will donate a third of the proceeds to the Garden Committee. So get your appetite on and get down to Chipotle on December 11th. A flier will be going home in the next few weeks about this fundraiser.

December 12th we are holding a wonderful and informative family event called  "Minds On/ Screens Off Night". This evening is for the whole family and more information will be coming out closer to the date. As you think about this important topic of the amount and types of screen time children are exposed to, a link to a New York Times article that gives some further thought on this topic is below. Just copy the link into your browser.
