NEW SECURITY PROCEDURE
On Monday, February 3rd, Big Lake Elementary implemented a District wide initiative focused on safety by locking the front doors of the school during the instructional day (9:30-3:30).
While you will still have full access to your students, you will need to ring the doorbell located to the left of the front doors to enter the school. We will have signs posted to guide you.
Thank you for helping us ensure the safety of our students. If you have any questions please call the school office at 892-9700.

HEALTHY FUTURES SPRING CHALLENGE
The sunshine makes me want to start moving! So start noting your activity and join the latest round of Healthy Futures. The spring challenge for Healthy Futures runs for February, March and April!
Participants are asked to be physically active for 60 minutes a day for 15 days during the month. Recess counts for 30 minutes if your child is outside running around, and on days your child has PE that counts also.
Students earn gel pens for turning in their monthly activity calendars and earn a chance for the drawing of bigger prizes that takes place in April. So, get moving, mark it on your calendar and Join the Healthy Futures Team.
March's Activity Log will be sent home with students on Friday and is attached to this newsletter.
MUSIC NOTES
COMBINED CONCERT
Excellent concert BLE Band! Thank you to all that came out to enjoy the concert this week, and thanks to our hard working band students for making Big Lake proud!
