Dear BSS Community,
I believe that the book fair is on the top ten list of favorites at BSS. When the younger students saw the MPR converted into a world of books, they chanted, “Books, books, books.” Some stood at the door and stared. Yesterday, during preview day, the wish list of books grew very long! How wonderful to see this love of reading.
I hope you can join on Thursday, March 23 for Family Fun Night. You may see some “paws” for reading friends from 6:00-7:00 p.m.

Pi Day
Students from Mrs. Hipps sixth and seventh grade math classes
tried to see how many digits of pi they could "chain" together. Each color on the chain represents a digit 0-9, with black symbolizing the decimal point. Students also explored the ratio between circumference and diameter of a circle and discovered their birthdays position in pi.

Showing at the Paramount Theater on March 24th:
$12 General Admission
$9 for Children & Students
“
Moon Mouse
”, Lightwire Theater’s “black light/laser special effects, a cosmic adventure about celebrating differences”, is coming to the Paramount Theater, Saturday, March 24. Showtimes for the productions, part of the “Anniversaries Year” celebration of The Paramount, are set for 2PM and 7PM.
This, kid-centric, family-friendly show is sure to thrill audiences as this special-effects packed feature deviates from audiences are used to experiencing at the theater. Rolling Stone calls the show “Absolutely Incredible” and TV Guide exclaimed that “Their captivating combination of dance, puppetry, and lighting earned Lightwire a standing ovation.”
Marvin the Mouse wants to be popular. Constantly bullied and picked on by the “cool rats”, he is labeled as a loser and a geek. As a respite from the continuous badgering, Marvin retreats into his science books and a world of fantasy. He longs to have adventures and be the hero. He takes the outer space adventure of a lifetime: a trip to the surface of the moon on his homemade rocket, where he meets a string cast of misfit creatures, learns of infinite peril, and views awesome beauty. Will Marvin make his dreams come true and experience the glory and acceptance he craves?
