On Thursday morning, the students participated in our annual Memorial Day Assembly. There were patriotic songs, original poems by student authors, and two guest speakers. The students learned why we celebrate Memorial Day and the meaning of Taps. I must tell you that your kids were OUTSTANDING. They were respectful, thoughtful, and made a wonderful impression on our guests. I hope that you enjoy this wonderful Memorial Day Weekend.

The Bedford School District completes significant maintenance projects every summer. McKelvie is having an older section of roof replaced and getting an upgrade to two student bathrooms in need of replacement. At Peter Woodbury, the parking lot is being replaced and traffic flow is being reconfigured. You may notice this project in late June or early July when the trees in front of Peter Woodbury are removed to make way for the expanded parking lot.

5th to 6th Placement
A reminder to families that we are in the beginning stages of gathering information on placement. If you have concerns or additional insight, please send along an email or letter for the placement team to review. Please do not request specific teachers. Teacher assignments will be published via the Parent Portal in early August. Enjoy a stress-free June and July!
K-Z Parent Pick Up
A reminder that if you are picking up your child at the Canopy, please pull ahead. Leaving large spaces between your car and the next causes a traffic jam on County Rd. Also - if you arrive at 3:25, it is smooth sailing.
Have a great weekend,
