Bobcat Pride Press
2019- 2020 Volume 1
Welcome to the first ever Bobcat Pride Press
The idea for this newsletter came from our very own student leaders. We were looking for a way to communicate school happenings, current events and tips for keeping ourselves happy and healthy.
In addition to our weekly announcements, we now have a newsletter full of ideas written and compiled for kids by kids. We hope that you enjoy reading and viewing all the submissions and we look forward to sharing ‘new’ stuff with you each week. We also want to hear from you. Here’s one of our student leaders to explain how you can share your current events and ideas with us.

Remember To always be proactive is our habit for this week!
Here are some suggestions that can go with being proactive
Remember to stay on track with the work your teachers gave you
And in the morning or whenever you start your work you should always check your emails!

Learn Something New - How to Draw a Cat
Submitted by Quinn, 4th Grader
Learning doesn’t just have to be about school work, the most fun we have learning is when we learn about something we are interested in. This could be reading or math, science or history, even writing. It can also be learning a new recipe, how to cook or create a code or robot. Always keep learning and your mind will always keep growing.
This week’s suggestion comes from 4th grader Quinn Guthrie. Follow this link and learn how to draw a cat.
