BWE is super excited to announce that over the summer our old computer lab will be turned into a Maker’s Space where students K-5 will have the opportunity and resources available to explore their creativity and design skills through both art, multimedia, and technology mediums. In order to make this happen, we are looking for donations! Donations of the following materials can be new or used and can be dropped off at the school throughout the summer Monday-Thursday 8:30-3:00 pm:

Thanks so much for considering a donation to this new space where our students can be creators and innovators!

Next week, our Art Teacher, Mrs. Finch, will release a website for our 2020-2021 Virtual Art Show. The Virtual Art Show will showcase projects that the students have created this current school year. Be on the lookout for further information coming soon!

Our Field Day treat this year will be Rita’s Italian Ice, lemonade flavor. Please review the ingredients and contact the nurse if your child is not able to have the treat due to an allergy or medical reason. If you know your child is not able to have the lemonade ice, please feel free to supply an appropriate treat for them.

Ingredients: High Fructose Corn Syrup, Water, Sugar, Citric Acid, Gum Arabic, Sodium Benzoate (used as a preservative), 100% pure lemon juice concentrate, lemon puree.

Because of redistricting and students moving back from NACA, Bradford Woods Elementary School will not be offering a formal Summer Reading Program this year.

Remember, though, that the best predictor of school success is the amount of time spent reading and enjoying books. Experts note that most young readers suffer a backslide in reading skills during summer downtime. But that needn't be the case. Families can make reading a priority during the summer months, and children will learn that people never take a vacation from learning. Here are some great resources that may help your child enjoy a summer that makes time for learning.

The North Allegheny Librarians have compiled many lists of books for students of all reading levels. Click on this link to take you to the North Allegheny Elementary Schools Summer Reading Page - there are lots of wonderful book recommendations for elementary school readers from Kindergarten through Fourth grade.

At this same link, you will find links to programs at Northland Public Library, Riverstone Books Summer Reading Program, and Barnes & Noble Booksellers Summer Reading Program. We highly encourage all students to participate in one or more of these programs. 

 

For our 5th graders who are moving to Middle School, there is a district-wide Summer Reading Program for rising 6th through 8th graders. Click on this link for more information: https://www.smore.com/cfdwr

If you have any questions about any of this information, please contact Mrs. Flaherty, BWE Librarian at mflaherty@northallegheny.org.

Happy Summer Reading BWE Students!

The BWE Parent Faculty Association (PFA) provides a lot of great activities, programs and events, including Fall Family Night, After School Programs, Community Service Events, Class Parties, and the Traveling Art Gallery, just to name a few. Throughout the year, the PFA also provides updates & information about all of these opportunities and much more! However, if you are not a registered user, we do not have your contact information, and cannot provide you with PFA/school updates and happenings.

The PFA is looking ahead to a much brighter 2021-22 school year as we plan to bring back many of the activities we were unable to have this year. Please take the time to register with us today so that you don’t miss them!
