Ben's Buzz:
March 2, 2016
We've just completed our Enrollment Period for the 2016-2017 school year and we are pleased to welcome our newest 50 kindergarten students! The class will be an even split between siblings of older students and new families to BFCCPS. Over the next few weeks we will begin scheduling socials and the annual Kindergarten Screening Process. I would like to thank you all in advance for any support you can lend to the newest members of our community.
Next week will be the end of Term Two and Report Cards will be sent home on the afternoon of March 11th. Come celebrate the end of term at the PCO Spring Family Social! You will find lots of information below including advanced ticket sales (only through Tuesday!) as well as a preview of the Raffle Basket contents. The PCO needs many volunteers to bring this event to fruition, parent volunteers, middle school volunteers and even alumni volunteers. Please see detailed information a little further down in today's newsletter.
Have a great rest of the week!
