Project to show our IB Attribute – Caring
We are doing another video to thank the BPS and community nurses, custodians and cafeteria staff! They are still working either at Makowski, the hospital or handing out lunches at one of the community schools. If you could, please have your kids draw a picture of a rainbow or write a little message to thank these amazing essential workers. Send me a picture of the kids holding up their sign. Please be aware this video will be posted on social media as well as YouTube.
