Hello Bushnell Families~
We've had a wonderful week here at Bushnell! On Wednesday we had a group from Detroit called Lionheart present to our little ones. Their message focused on who you are, how our words and actions can make others feel like a masterpiece, and how we are all special! See the phots and videos below. It was an incredible experience to see all of our students and staff ALL IN during the time together!
We have had some feedback from parents regarding parking lot safety, especially in the morning. If you are dropping your child off, DO NOT let them out in the church parking lot or on a cross street corner and let them walk through or across the parking lot. This is extremely dangerous with buses and cars moving about. Please wait in the line and drop them along the curb with the rest of the carpool flow.
Spirit Days for Homecoming week (next week 10.10-10.14)!
Monday: Beach day
Tuesday: Comfy day
Wednesday: Mismatch day
Thursday: Disney Day
Friday: Red Arrow Day
Did you know that the State of Michigan Department of Education has a set of learning competencies for Social-Emotional Learning? Mrs. Hogarth- our school social worker- uses these standards to guide her support for students and classrooms. There are five main components that we work on: self awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. These standards also include specific things teachers can do that are age appropriate to help children become more aware of their own feelings as well as others. We are proud to say that many of the suggested ideas are things we do naturally here at Bushnell. You can review these SEL Competencies here if you are interested!
Do you have a four year old at home that would benefit from preschool? Our Great Start Readiness program, housed here at Bushnell, is looking to fill a third classroom! This is a FREE program for most (sliding for others based on income) and runs Monday through Thursday for full days! You can apply here today! You can also call at 616-447-2409.
Our Lost and Found is already overflowing! Feel free to stop in at the office and we can help you look for lost items- especially coats and hoodies!
School picture retakes will be Thursday, October 20th.
Today is the last day of our fundraiser! Thanks to all who have donated!
