Bedwell Friday Folder
 
November 1, 2013
Hello at home,  
 

I trust you all enjoyed Bedwell's Halloween Parade.  Let's hope it's a tradition that will continue for years to come.

 

Please be reminded that there is no school next Thursday, November 7 or Friday, November 8.  I hope you and your family enjoy the brief respite. 

 

Warm regards,

 

Gretchen Dempsey

Assistant Principal
