JBD FRIDAY FOCUS
John B. Dey Family Newsletter March 23, 2018
BINGO!
Bingo is tonight and we can't wait! This is one of the best events of the year, and we sincerely thank the PTA for organizing this memorable event.
A special thanks goes to all of the parents for your support and involvement as we work together to help our students grow. It's so hard to believe that shortly after spring break will be the last quarter of the year. It is our pleasure to work with your children. I want to personally extend an invitation to all to reach out to me if you have comments, questions, or concerns of any kind. Taking the time to share positive experiences in your child's/children's classes is fabulous, as the teachers love to know their work is appreciated and a positive comment goes a long way, but we want to support with any struggles or challenges as well. I welcome opportunities to speak with parents personally, by phone, or email. My email address is: Elizabeth.bianchi@vbschools.com. School phone: 757-648-2440.
Spring break is around the corner and we look forward to a chance to renew and recharge! This is a great time to restock school supplies and focus on a positive and successful completion of the school year. There will not be another edition of the FOCUS next week, so please accept these heartfelt wishes for a wonderful and relaxing vacation with your children.
Best regards,
Beth Bianchi
