5th Grade at Bear Creek Elementary
Week 10 - November 9th - 13th
Dear Families,
Mrs. Sheeran, our amazing counselor, made a s'more that has great information about middle schools. Feel free to visit her s'more here.
This week is "Kindness Week". All week long we will be talking about kindness/empathy and what they mean to us. Friday is "Free to be Me" Day which encourages students to express themselves any way that makes them feel good in their own skin or show support for inclusivity by wearing different colors to represent how we are all unique! Open this slide for ideas on RAK (Random Acts of Kindness).
Just a reminder that school is closed the week of November 23rd for Thanksgiving Break. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Ms. Harmon and Mr. Linnell
