Ben's Buzz:
March 22, 2017
Dear BFCCPS Families,
We kicked off Literacy Week with a mystery reader extravaganza! Mr. Duque recorded 25 different faculty and staff members reading a page of this book. Then, on Monday, each classroom received a copy of the book, and a copy of the recording, and their job was to try and guess the faculty and staff members that were reading each page. The class
that got the most amount correct would win a gift certificate to the book fair! Congratulations to 4 Oelkers who guessed everyone correctly (even Coach Margie Burke who tried very hard to disguise her voice!) It was so much fun!!
Please check out this adorable book written by Rachel Bright and Illustrated by Jim Field, about finding your voice, and realizing that everyone has a mouse AND a lion inside!
On Tuesday, the school was filled with teachers and students in a variety of clever costumes for our dress like your favorite character day! Many thanks to Karen LaPlaca for organizing this fun day for BFCCPS, I've heard many staff already discussing their costumes for next year! Please enjoy this photo gallery for some of the highlights.
Have a great rest of the week!

 Parent Pillar Night: SCREENAGERS
March 30 at the
New England Chapel
We are incredibly excited to share the details of our next Parent Pillar night. We hope you'll choose to join us on March 30th for a private showing of SCREENAGERS.
The event will be held at the New England Chapel located at
40 Kenwood Circle in Franklin. Tickets are $10 per person and
must be pre-purchased here.
Tickets are now available to the general public to the show, so please reserve your tickets as soon as possible.
SCREENAGERS shows often sell out so don't miss your chance!
**Please note: We had originally intended to share the film with students in Grades 5-8, however after further consideration and a preview of the complete film; we have decided that it is really targeted to parents. If you would like to bring your child(ren) to the show you are welcome to purchase a ticket for them to watch as a family.**
