Principal's Message
"Life is Like a Roller Coast, Ups, Downs, Twists and Turns, But What a Ride!" - Lisa Layden
It is hard to believe we are entering the last marking period of the school year. The 20-21 school year has held many twists and turns, ups and downs, and obstacles to overcome. It has required all of us to be flexible and understanding, working through challenges together. I am grateful for the teamwork and support present in our school and community during this wild ride. There may be another loop or two thrown our way, but I am confident we can work through anything if we stick together. As our roller coaster of a year is quickly coming to an end, I look forward to continuing to focus on academic growth and relationship building with you and your child!
This month's newsletter outlines important upcoming dates, highlights student accomplishments and offers activities/events for our students and families.
Together We Can!

This summer the Bermudian Springs School District is excited to offer several summer experiences for our students.
STEAM AHEAD CAMP
The STEAM Ahead camp is designed for students ending the 2020-2021 school year in grades K-6. This opportunity is designed to engage students in hands-on, authentic, real world experiences where they will investigate, explore, and problem solve. Each activity will have a focus on literacy with applications to the four strands of STEAM: building, coding, creating and designing. Each session will run from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m and be held at the Elementary School, Monday-Thursday, June 14th-July1.
CAMP K
This program is designed for registered incoming Kindergarten students. Students will engage in fun activities that practice and establish readiness skills. The sessions will run from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., and will be held on July 27, 28, 29 and August 3, 4, and 5. The program will be held at the Elementary School.

KIDS HEART CHALLENGE
We had another very successful year for the Kids Heart Challenge again this year. There were 50 elementary students that participated in the Kids Heart Challenge by collecting donations for the American Heart Association. These students collected $4,184.18. That is amazing considering it was only 50 students.
There were 6 students that collected $100-199 - Logan Williams, Andrea Kaiser-Hoover, Jaxon Price, Liam Sauble, Jacob Knight, and Dean Ross.
There were 2 students that collected $200-299 - Hollis Eger and Patrick Collins.
There were 2 students that collected $400-499 - Alexander Boccia and Christopher Sauble.
The student that collected the most was Jacob Martindell in 1st grade. He collected $604.16.
As always the Bermudian Springs Community is so generous in these trying times. Thank you so much to all the families that supported this very important cause and raised money for the American Heart Association. Thank you very much!
