Greetings from Bedwell, 

 

The only thing better than going to the theatre is having the theatre come to you! Through the efforts of Mrs. Pike and the generosity of the HSA, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders at Bedwell were treated to Shakespeare LIVE!, The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's educational touring company. Their engaging and imaginative production of A Midsummer Night's Dream gave our students the opportunity to experience Shakespeare's work as the author intended- live! Ask your child to tell you about the show!

All the best,


Coleen G. Butler
Assistant Principal

New Note from the Transportation Director: Today and perhaps Monday, traffic on Old Fort Road will be reduced to one lane as contractors do work preparing for the installation of sidewalks. Please use extreme caution while on the road, or perhaps try to avoid it altogether.  When the actual sidewalk installation begins, traffic will still be allowed, but will once again be one lane only.
