BPS April Highlights
MILA Elementary Welcomes a New Four-Legged Friend
Meet Chase, the newest addition to the family at MILA Elementary School!

Chase is a therapy dog who spends his day on MILA's campus. Along with our wonderful School Resource Officer, Chase is able to interact with students to help put a smile on everyone's faces! The students absolutely cannot get enough of Chase and return the love in the form of ear scratches and belly rubs!

We are thankful for the wonderful partnership between the Brevard County Sheriff's Office and Brevard Public Schools that made made this possible. Click the link below to see a video of Chase in action!
Students Participate in Brevard Zoo's "Name the Street" Contest
Elementary schools in Brevard have the exciting opportunity to name the street that runs from Wickham Road into the beautiful Brevard Zoo.

Westside Elementary School in Palm Bay was excited for the opportunity to participate in the “Name the Street” contest. Students in each class created names and their grade levels voted on which would represent them in the schoolwide competition. The school used this contest to positively impact the greater school community by doing a food drive for local pantries.
 
One non-perishable item equaled one vote for their favorite name, and students enthusiastically began bringing in items to support their grade level’s nomination. Every few days, names were eliminated until the final two were left. The name “Animal Adventure Avenue” earned the top spot and was submitted to the Brevard Zoo as Westside’s choice. Mrs. Woodbury, Principal, stated, “Even if we do not win the overall competition, our school loved the process and was able to give back to our school community with over 800 food items donated to local families and food pantries.” Way to go, Westside!

Legacy Cards
Expiration dates were removed from Legacy Club cards a few years ago, so members would not have to worry about renewing each school year.

If your current Legacy Club card has no expiration date, you have the most recent edition, and do not need to renew.

If you have a Gold Legacy card (55-64), but are now age 65 or older, please contact:
Caitlin Maffeo at legacyclub@brevardschools.org to receive an updated card in the mail.

Or, you may visit the front office of any BPS high school to obtain a new card.

Thank you for your support of Brevard Public Schools!
