As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, it is a time to step back and be thankful for our many blessings, including family and friends as well as our safe and stable Louisville community. Here's a video clip, An Unsung Hero I shared with staff this week and felt it was timely to share with our families as well. As we approach the holiday season, how might we spread the same idea of "paying it forward" within our family circle and community? Participating in our "Giving Tree" program is just one example of this.
After hearing rave reviews from Perry Conway's visit to Fireside last year, we've invited him to return again this year with a different topic- Helping Wildlife Survive. Having traveled the world and experienced the affects of global warming firsthand, Perry will bring his teachings, photography and insights to our Fireside Falcons on November 30th. Be sure to ask your child/ren what was learned.
Based on the tech survey we distributed to parents a couple weeks back regarding parent tech support/training, Ms. Pazour will host some tech informational sessions in January. Dates TBD and shared in the December 2 Chat.
This year, BVSD will not be offering an Impact on Education Award for Teachers as the district is in the process of revamping the award with plans to continue it next school year.
