#YouMatter
Week 30 - March 23 - 27
I don't even know where to start! We are facing some of the biggest challenges ever!! I appreciate everyones patience as we navigate these uncharted waters! Information we receive is literally changing by the hour! Thank you for understanding as this is something none of us have experienced, and as Mr. Suber told us this past week, "It Ain't In The Book!"
You all are absolutely amazing!! I appreciate everything all of you have done to make sure our students have quality work to complete while we are out! All of your smiling faces and offers to help where ever needed are very much appreciated! We WILL get through this!
If you haven't done so, please join our BSE Reads! page on Facebook and share it with all of your parents! I love watching all of these videos and the response from parents has been great!
Please let your parents know we are having a daily challenge on Facebook as well. If they respond we are drawing one name per day and mailing them a prize!
This week we will have a virtual spirit week (see picture below)! If parents comment on the post each day they will be entered into the drawing!
This week we also want to flood Facebook with homemade cards, letters, posters, etc. showing our thanks, appreciation, and love for all that those "essential" people are doing during this time! Parents are going to be encouraged to post their child's creations, and I encourage you to share them so we can try and reach as many of these "essential" workers as possible!

Just a Few Things:
- Grades - We are expecting to receive guidance from the SDE in the near future.
- Packets - Packets are going to be due when we return, just in case parents ask you.
- If parents contact you about the work in the packets please encourage them to do the best they can, but this shouldn't be a stressful time! Molly Spearman does not want schoolwork to add any additional stress to families during this time. If there are things they absolutely are unable to complete at home, that is okay.
- As parents contact you, please respond to them within a reasonable amount of time.
Please contact me at any time if you have any questions! If I don't know the answer, I will try and find it out!
