Counselor Corner
This last week of school holds many celebrations. Celebrations of what students accomplished this year, the goals they’ve met, the friendships made as well as the excitement of what the future holds. This week on SEL day, we will look at gratitude and spend some time identifying what brings us joy. I am grateful for you and your children that make up this incredible BME family. I hope you have a joyful summer break!

Family Field Day - This week!
Field day is an important tradition in our district. It is a significant day for our students and staff to celebrate another successful school year. In these challenging times, this is a unique way that we can stay connected as a community and support each other in a fun and meaningful way.
The ZCS Elementary Wellness Team has put together an opportunity for your family to participate in our Virtual Family Field Day during the week of May 18th - May 22nd. Games can be completed outdoors or indoors with minimal to no equipment. You can choose what day works best for your family and you can choose any number of activities to complete.
FAMILY FIELD DAY Module was posted on your WELLNESS CANVAS COURSE on MAY 15th! Let the planning, playing, and celebrating begin!
Here are some ideas:
- Choose what works for your family: Choose your level of competition. Your family can all be on the same team working together toward a common goal, or you can split up and make teams.
- Make your own team logo or family crests! Whether dividing up by teams or working as one group, design a team logo. Pick a color, animal, flower, or tree. Coordinate team outfits and choose a healthy team snack, or even a picnic lunch.
- Designate roles: Decide on the “jobs” each family member will have. For example, the team chef makes the healthy team snacks, the team stylist picks “uniforms,” and the team manager keeps track of time and checks off activities as you complete them.
- Be sure to take a lot of pictures and share your FUN! Click on the link below to add your family pictures and view other schools to find friends across the district.
Family Input Survey
Dear Boone Meadow Families,
Thank you for taking time to provide feedback regarding your child's learning experience. Your input provides us the opportunity to reflect on our strengths and areas to strengthen. We readily admit that we, as a staff, must always strive to grow in our work and practices.
Please note:
- Our staff is committed to continuity in relationship with students and families whenever possible. In doing so, we believe we can serve students and families better. Therefore, it is our goal for students to remain with their classroom teacher for more than one year when possible.
- For the upcoming 2020-21 school year, we plan to continue a looping model with 1st grade to 2nd grade. Likewise, we desire to do the same with 3rd grade to 4th grade. Please note: As enrollment changes or other placement needs must be considered, continued placements are not guaranteed.
- Please, do not include requests for specific teachers.
Should you desire to share input and feedback, please complete the survey by Monday, May 18th. This will allow us the opportunity to adequately review your input before the end of the school year.

Next Year's School Supplies
Our school has once again partnered with 1st Day School Supplies in order to assist families with next year's classroom supplies. You can get the exact supplies your teachers requested without the hassle of back to school shopping!
- All kits will be delivered to your student's classroom prior to the first day of school.
- PTO and the school receive no proceeds from the service. The desire is to simply provide a convenient service at a reasonable price.
Note: Deadline to order is June 15.
Any questions can be directed to Andrea Wickard at andrea_wickard@yahoo.com

Hussey Mayfield Public Library
Hussey Mayfield Memorial Public Library (the Zionsville Public Library) is still closed, but they have set up a way for people who don't have a library card to register online and get a "card" (an email with card number and pin) within 24 hours.
This is GREAT news for our staff/students/community, because the public library has an absolute treasure trove of digital resources that can be accessed during this time of e-learning.
Here are the instructions to get signed up for a card while the library is closed:
Get a Library Card within 24-Hours
Visit our Get a Card page , fill out the application, and all eligible applicants will receive an email within 24-hours with their new, personal Library Card information.
Please fill out an application for each person in your family who wants their own card. ALL ages are welcome to receive a card.
Cards issued while we are closed will expire within 6 months from the date of issue. When the Library reopens, please bring your valid ID to the Library to extend your expiration date.
