Bedwell Elementary School Friday Folder

Bedwell Friday Folder

December 21, 2012

Hello at home,

It's hard to believe that 2013 is so close at hand. Please be sure to note that students will be dismissed at 1:20 PM on January 7th, 8th and 9th to give teachers and parents a chance to conference.

As 2012 fades and we count our blessings, I can't help but think how lucky we all are to be part of the Bedwell community.

Warmest regards,

Gretchen Dempsey

Assistant Principal

School Closings, Early Dismissals, Delayed Openings and Parent Notifications
Bedwell Builders are working on a new project in Technology Design! Students are building replica models of stores and buildings from around town, which will be delivered to their actual locations for display. There is one small problem though ... a lack of Lego materials! If your son or daughter has "retired" their Lego collection and you're looking to free up some space in your attic or basement, please consider donating them to Mr. Thurlow! Green baseplates and/or Lego minifigurines are especially needed.
