Healthy Precautions: Greetings at Conferences
We look forward to seeing you this week. As we continue to be proactive in keeping all of our community healthy we've encouraged staff that a friendly wave is an appropriate greeting as opposed to a handshake. Thank you for your help!
Rock Your Socks!
On March 21, 2020, the Down Syndrome Association of Delaware will be joining other schools and organizations around the world in celebrating WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY. Together we will create a single global voice for advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down syndrome in our schools, community and around the world.
3/21, World Down Syndrome Day, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which leads to Down syndrome.
Since we will not be in school on the 21st, we will celebrate at BSES and the other Garnet Valley schools on Friday, 3/20.
Mismatched socks will be sold for $1 per pair with proceeds benefiting the Down Syndrome Association of Delaware. Money will be collected in homerooms each day (just like we do for our pretzel sales!) leading up to 3/20. If your child would like to purchase a pair of socks to wear for Rock Your Socks, please send $1 per pair any day from Monday 3/9 through Wednesday, 3/18. Socks will be delivered to your child's homeroom on Thursday, 3/19.
Thank you, in advance, for your support!
Get Your Ogre Ears and Support Oue School Play!
Our fundraising committee parent volunteers will be selling ogre ears for $5 during all lunch periods on Monday 3/16, Tuesday 3/17, Thursday 3/19, and Friday 3/20. The sale will be a cash and carry event--bring your $5 and walk out with some great-looking ogre ears! We are encouraging all staff and students to wear their ogre ears during the week of the play (3/23 to 3/27)!

Important Updates From Our Home and School Association
COMING SOON: Just in time for the BSES School Play, we will be hosting our first official combo Dining for Dollars Night at California Tortilla and Sweet Frog! On Thursday, March 26th, you can earn money for the HSA by NOT making dinner AND by taking the kids out for a celebratory post-play fro-yo. Sounds like a WIN-WIN-WIN!
Make sure to let the folks at California Tortilla (200 Town Centre Dr, Glen Mills) and Sweet Frog (just across the parking lot from Cal Tort at 600 Town Centre Dr Ste 8, Glen Mills) know that you are supporting Bethel Springs, and the HSA will earn 20% of the profits from both establishments during the event. The California Tortilla event will run from 4pm-8pm, and the Sweet Frog event will run from 11am-9pm.

We invite you to help support our worthy cause by purchasing tickets and attending the concert. Adult admission is $15.00, free admission for children and performing students. You may purchase tickets at our website www.gvhsmusic.org/musicgala
