A Note From the Principal:
Dear Bear Tavern Staff,
Rather than an article of the week, please spend your time this break enjoying the company of your friends and family. If you're interested in catching up on past articles, just check out the google site for links to all Bear Tracks (Click Here).
Have a wonderful break and I hope that you have a Happy and Healthy New Year!
Power down a bit and come back ready to make some great things happen for our kids!
If you do read over the break, be sure to use the new hashtag on Twitter - #BearTavernReads and post pictures, etc.
Happy Friday and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
Sincerely,
Chris
Key Information:
- NEW READING HASHTAG - We are releasing a new, all year long Twitter Hashtag to celebrate and share reading at BT. For the past two summers we have used #BTSummerRead, but next Friday, we'll be kicking off #BearTavernReads and we will challenge BT students and families to post 100 total tweets (not including what we post as a staff!) about what they are reading over winter break. The good news is that it will become easy to remember and we can use the same tweet anytime throughout the year or the summer! Stay tuned and spread the word!
- Road to the Reading Final Four - The nominations will be out from December 22 - January 15th. We'll review all nominations and narrow it down to 32 books the following week. PLEASE help talk this part of the process up to your students & families.
- **SPECIAL BIO GOOGLE FORMS** - (Must be completed by January 5th!) CLICK HERE . We will take pictures and starting in the new year, we'll highlight a group (grade level, department, etc.) each week with a picture and some fun facts on our lobby TV. Please take a moment and complete!
- Student Self-Care Day - March 1st. It will be a really awesome day for our kids. CLICK HERE for more info.
