Dear McKelvie Families ~
We are deep in the throws of the McKelvie Move-a-thon! Our goal is to raise $40,000 to bring our efforts for a new Courtyard to fruition. While we do not recommend going door to door, this is a terrific weekend to collect a few sponsors. We hope to have 100% participation so that we can meet our goal! There will be some really cool prizes including a limo lunch, and ride to school via Police Cruiser and Fire Truck. Thank you so very much for your support in this effort!
NO SCHOOL
Just a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Monday, October 10th in observance of Columbus Day.
National Distinguished Principal
As you may recall, I was selected as NH’s Middle Level Principal of the Year for 2017. Next week, I will be joining NDP’s from around the country in Washington, DC. During my time there, I will be representing the interests of students from NH with members of congress, other states, and the United States Department of Education. I am excited to represent Bedford in this capacity.
From the Kitchen
Sample a Smoothie Day! We will be offering samples of a Fresh Fruit Smoothie in the McKelvie cafeteria during lunches on October 25th. It will be samples only and any student in the cafe can come up and try one. Fresh Orange Tropical Smoothie Ingredients: Bananas - Carrots - Pineapple - Strawberries - Yogurt (plain skim milk)
From the Library
Congratulations to our first "search slip" winner of the school year. Peter's "search slip" was drawn from all of the entries seen HERE. The 5th grader correctly filled out a "search slip" when he was looking for a book in the McKelvie Library. Congratulations, Peter, and enjoy your sweet treat! Click HERE to see Peter, his entry, and prize. Another winner will be drawn from the submissions entered during the month of October.
Ledger found a "Golden Ticket!" This is the 4th out of 10 hidden tickets to be found. He was reading his book at home when it was located. HERE is Ledger with the book he checked out from the library, the "Golden Ticket," and his prize.
The McKelvie Library recently obtained new books! HERE you will see most of these new fiction and nonfiction acquisitions right before they entered the hands of readers! There is nothing like a new book!
