PTA Meeting— Tuesday, 6:30 P.M., MAY 12 MAY 12 MPB (Gym)...this is rescheduled from earlier this month! BVE Annual Walk-a -Thon—Friday, Let Kids Know: Last Few Weeks COUNT! We are getting into the time of year (warmer weather, field trips, etc.) when children tend to begin “letting their guard down” (we as adults can be guilty of this, as well!). Please let your child know that learning doesn’t stop once a test is finished...at BVE, as always, we teach challenging and pertinent material every day, bell-to-bell. YES, there will be some wonderful and FUN activities that abound as the end of the year gets closer. But help them to understand...the end isn’t here yet! We want them to continue to persevere in every area, and this includes good behavior as well. As with all areas of your involvement, we appreciate your help in advance. 28 GSD School Board Night! - Tuesday April 27, 2015 APR 6:30PM, MPB (Gym) Domino’s Pizza Volume 10, Issue 32 MAY 15 during students’ activity periods USDE National Blue Ribbon School We are READY...Gulfport Strong! Parents, once again, we are ensuring that we end the year with $0.00 in unpaid balances in our students’ cafeteria accounts. Please check to ensure that your child does not owe any money to the cafeteria before the last day of school (May 29, 2015). Please be advised that the office will actively collect all unpaid balances, both now, and throughout the summer. Help avoid any embarrassing letters or phone calls by calling the school and finding out your child’s current balance (aren’t we all TIRED of Mr. Allen’s voice on a “robocall” while we’re trying to enjoy DINNER?!?). Our cafeteria manager, Brenda Mitchell, may be reached at 865-4627. We thank you in advance for your assistance! APRIL Citizens of the Month ...and “Terrific Kids”, Too!
