5TH GRADE PARTY MONEY
5th Grade celebrates the end of the year with a party off campus at Main Event. Although the PTA covers the cost of the Winter and Valentine’s Party, there is a $25.00 party fee for the end of the year party. This $25.00 covers unlimited bowling, laser tag, ropes course, two slices of pizza, a soft drink and a $10 game card. Payment for the End of Year Party can be made online on the Bledsoe PTA website under the Store tab or at the link http://bledsoe.my-pta.org. Make sure you type in your student’s name and there is a drop down box to select your homeroom teacher. Payment is due by September 29th.
Walk and Bike to School Day is Wednesday October 4th. Be a part of a movement along with thousands of schools across America that involves communities walking and biking to school on this day to promote physical activity among children, pedestrian safety and concern for the environment.
We have fun giveaways for the 1st 100 walkers / bikers to school (PCR walkers will also be recognized). All walkers and bikers will get a raffle ticket and a chance to enter in a drawing for cool prizes! The winners will be announced at GMB on Friday, October 13th.
We will have Reedy High School Cheerleaders cheering on our students as they walk into school. Also, come watch Reedy’s Drumline perform for the 1st time at our event!! We hope you will come show your support and Walk / Bike to school!
