Notes From Nurse G
Mask Update! Please Read
Please make sure your student has a backup mask in his/her backpack, and he/she knows where it is located. The clinic does have extra masks when needed (i.e. forgotten mask, broken mask, etc).But we need our masks to last all year! There has been a significant increase in students needing a replacement mask in the last couple of weeks. If your student has received a black cloth mask from the clinic, please wash then place that mask in his/her backpack so that he/she will have it if it is needed again.
Kindly,
Nurse G
COVID-19 Facts for Families
Thank you, PTO!
Big Creek teachers and staff have loved the new Appreciation Station, which is full of snacks, treats, and classroom items they can choose from; thank you to those who have contributed! While the Appreciation Station will continue throughout the year, our final Thankful Thursday is November 19, and we encourage all Wildcats to share with their teachers how amazing they think they are! Send an e-gift card for a treat or needed school supplies, make a handmade or digital thank you card, or continue to stock the Appreciation Station from the new BCES PTO Appreciation Station Amazon list.
Yearbook Price Increases Tomorrow!!
TODAY, Friday November 13, is the last day to order a yearbook before the price increases! Don't miss out on the chance to remember your student's unique year at Big Creek. Submit photos and place your yearbook order at BigCreekYearbook.com
Dream Dinners FUNdraiser!
PTO and Dream Dinners still have some FUNdraiser session dates available in November - let them help make dinner one less thing to worry about! The Dream Dinners staff will assemble your meals and have them ready for your fridge or freezer on the date you select. This is a super easy way to have some delicious meals already prepped and ready for cooking/baking, and $10 of every order will go back to PTO!
