CONGRATS TO RYAN DAUGHERTY!!
We are so proud of Bidwell Pioneer Ryan Daugherty, who took FIRST PLACE in the Butte County Spelling Bee! Great job, Ryan!
PRINCIPAL'S LETTER
Dear Bidwell Families,
The idea for "Parent Patrol" was developed at our recent "Bidwell Safe Schools Roundtable Discussion" on 3/28. Interested parents/guardians may sign up for one or more slots to serve as an extra set of eyes and ears during drop-off and pick-up times. I am working on getting visible T-shirts made that volunteers can keep in their vehicles and throw on during their patrol to increase visibility/presence as well as to let other folks know why you're standing by the school.
If you're interested, please indicate your day/time availability in the digital form.
Thank you for helping to make Bidwell an even safer place for our kids!

WE'RE "FLIPPING" OUT FOR THESE PIONEERS!
Congratulations to Larisa Robinson, Veronica Briggs, Mia Medina, and Roxy Briggs! These girls competed in the 2018 USA Gymnastics State Meet this past weekend and all of them qualified to move on to Regionals in Scottsdale, AZ in April! Great job, girls!!
NEW LIFE TO OLD PHONES
Do you have an old smartphone laying around that you no longer need? Bidwell’s history department could put it to great use! We are excited to have the opportunity to use Google Cardboard devices in the classroom, which will allow students to take virtual reality fieldtrips and explore the places we learn about. These devices require a smartphone connected to Wi-Fi, and don’t worry! Your information can be cleared off of your phone!
If you have a phone or two that you could donate, bring them to the office or talk to Mrs. Molchen at cmolchen@chicousd.org. Thank you for making history come to life for our students!

MISSIONS TO MARS
Students in Ms. Harris' Advanced Lego Robotics class have 9 different tasks including multiple sensors and movements they have to make their robot complete. They have 3 tasks mats that help them practice measurement of distance, angles, light reflection, and discerning color. These “missions” are practice before their final month-long challenge of completing tasks specific to tasks astronauts must complete in studying the surface of Mars.
