From the Desk of Shurandia Holden
Hello Boggess Bengals,
It's been another great week at Boggess!
Second Grade students created a “paper doll” to represent their family’s culture and made this fantastic display with them.
5th Grade students and teachers enjoyed going on a field trip to Plano East to watch the PESH Theater production of Hetty Feather. It was fun to see several former Boggess Bengal actors in action!
We hope you enjoy your 3 day weekend! Friday, April 15th is a student/teacher Holiday. Please enjoy this day with your family. Monday, April 18th is no longer a holiday. It is now an inclement weather make-up day. We look forward to seeing all of our students at school on this date.
In order to help campus staff appropriately and schedule classes for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year, families are asked to complete an Intent to Return form online. Please see the link below to complete this form online as soon as possible. Intent to Return form
Our Boggess Kindergarten Meet & Greet will be on Monday, April, 25th from 3:00-4:00 pm in the library. Please come meet the Kindergarten Team, visit the kindergarten classrooms, and get assistance with registration if needed. We can’t wait to meet our new Bengals.
Touching hearts and minds,
