Word From The Woods
Bishop Woods Newsletter March 10, 2024
Hello Bishop Woods Family!
Good Evening Bishop Woods Families,
This is Ms. Crisci with some updates: I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend enjoying some time with family and friends.
This past week, our students celebrated Read Across America. Classes read many books and created a chain with the name of every book. Each day students participated in a different theme. They had an opportunity to wear different hats, silly outfits, favorite sport gear, and favorite color. The week ended with Cultural Heritage/Hometown day and a school-wide parade. Students and staff dressed in clothing representing their heritage and carried a chain with all the books read throughout the week. It was a great feeling seeing the smiles on our students' faces as they paraded through the halls celebrating their heritage and reading accomplishments. Pictures will be posted on our Instagram and Facebook page.
Also on Friday, in partnership with community organizations, NHPS hosted their 4th Annual SEL day (Hope, Healing, and Happiness) offering virtual live sessions for all students intended to inspire connection with other students, by engaging in activities centered around self-awareness, self-management, and social awareness,, relationship skills and responsible decision making. All classes did many activities focused on Social Emotional Learning.
The day ended with our February Perfect Attendance, No Tardies incentive. We had 108 students (approx. 24% of our students) and our first parent raffle. The parent raffle will continue to the end of the year. Again, Kudos to all parents and caregivers.
To all Bishop Woods families, the District released the school climate survey and your input is needed. We would love to see Bishop Woods in the top 10 schools whose parents participated. Below is the link to participate
