Bedwell Friday Folder
 
June 1, 2012

Greetings from Bedwell, 

 

Is it really possible that it is the first of June?  Our students and teachers are still working hard.  It is amazing to walk through the halls at this time of year and to hear students excitedly talk about what they are learning.  They have established themselves as readers, writers, thinkers and learners.  Their growing independence is astonishing to watch each day.  Thank you for sharing them with us!

 

All the best,


Coleen G. Butler
Assistant Principal

New News from the Health Office regarding the retrieval of medications. 

 

Note from the Transportation Director: Beginning Monday, May 7, traffic on Old Fort Road will be reduced to one lane as contractors begin construction for sidewalk installation.  Most school buses that use Old Fort Road will be detoured. 

Many children from all three schools use that road to walk to and from home.  With the addition of construction equipment and vehicles, it will be even more congested.  Please use extreme caution if you choose to drive on Old Fort Road.  Detouring around that road would be preferable.  Please remind your children who walk on that road to be extra cautious during this phase of construction.
