MS. HARRIS' DISCUSSION WALKS
6th Grade Honors English finished reading Freedom Walkers: The Story of the Montgomery Boycott which tells the story of segregation in Alabama, Rosa Parks’s stand for what was right, and the bus boycott following Rosa’s stand. Students were given discussion questions to think, converse, and walk with.
ATTENTION STUDENTS!
Please do not exit Bidwell through the main office after school. Instead, please exit through the outside gates. Thank you for helping to keep the main office quiet for office staff.
REMEMBER TO DO YOUR PART TO KEEP BIDWELL CLEAN
MS. DUCHON'S CLASS GETS INTO GOAT HEARTS
There were some awesome happenings in Ms. Duchon’s Life Science class this week. Thanks to the Chico State Exercise Physiology Club, our students were able to learn about the heart: how it works, how to measure their heartrates, how to keep their hearts healthy, and most importantly the students were able to see and touch real dissected hearts. These Chico State students were kind enough to spend their morning inspiring our students by giving them a hands on experience, sharing their expertise and collegiate stories, as well as provide a safe space to have some fun. This was a wonderful experience for all.
IMPACT MENTORING
PHONE USAGE
As students are not allowed to use their cell phones during the school day, we have a phone in the office for student use. However, many students are not familiar with using a landline phone. Make sure your student knows their home phone number along with the cell phone numbers of close family members, and please teach them how to make a call on a landline phone. It may seem like an easy task, but it is a life skill!
