What's Happening This Week:
We will have our first Saturday Academy this week on January 27th. The time is 8:00 am--12:00 pm. All are welcome. Students will participate in a variety of hands on, exciting, and engaging activities. Breakfast and lunch will be served. Check your students backpack for a permission slip, or contact your child's teacher directly to sign up.
Kids Heart Challenge
We are excited to kick off this year's Kid's Heart Challenge. In collaboration with the American Heart Association, we are working to promote healthy and active lifestyles amongst our students. Here is a link to the specific page for Bloomington Elementary. Please visit the page for information and details. If we get at least half of our students to register for the program, it works towards our goal of getting new exercise equipment for the students.
Students will learn about the importance of heart health, healthy living, and exercise. In years past, students have enjoyed the program and earned a variety of awesome prizes. Thank you in advance for visiting our page and participating. Every little click goes a long way.
🍕 Weekly Cafeteria Menus 🥛
Our breakfast and lunch menus are available on the BISD website at anytime. Here is a quick link!
Breakfast is served from 7:00am until 8:00am. All students eat together as they arrive. Due to space limitations, parents are not permitted to eat breakfast with students. If students arrive after 8:00am, we will do our very best to get them cereal or something for breakfast.
Lunch is served by grade level according to the following schedule:
2nd Grade: 10:30am
4th Grade: 11:05am
3rd Grade: 11: 40am
5th Grade: 12:15pm
If you wish to eat lunch with your child, you need to sign in at the Front Office with a valid identification. A dedicated table has been set up for parents to enjoy lunch with their children.
