An Update From Principal Melissa Rohr
Mrs. Andrews, your Assistant Principal, and I are very excited to introduce our new Griffin! Over the summer we worked with a local company to create a mascot that we could use for printing and signs. When we got the Griffin back we knew we needed to reach out to our community for help naming it! You can either fill out this link or we will be also be sending out forms through your google classroom this Friday. We will collect all ideas and narrow them down to the top reoccurring suggestions. Ideas are due by October 8th. We will send out a final voting form the following Friday October 9th.
Thank you for taking time to help us! We miss all of you so very much and hope you are doing well, studying hard, and learning a lot! Stay healthy my friends!
Ms. Rohr

Students Eat at No Charge-We need your help!
Our school is participating in a federal program called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This program allows all children in our school to eat at no charge. However, some education programs we provide are funded with state dollars.
We will no longer be collecting Free and Reduced-Price Applications every year, instead, we must collect the Family Income Survey. This form helps us collect household information for all students attending CEP schools. Without this information, your student’s school could lose important state funding for educational programs that our students are entitled to.
Please take a moment to complete the form and return it to your student’s school. They will also be collected during lunch drop off at bus stops and at the school lunch service. The Family Income Survey captures information and ensures the district/school receives state funding for education programs.
The form can be found here, https://www.bremertonschools.org/Page/219
