Dear McKelvie Families ~
I hope that this email finds you well and having had a wonderful Spring Break! When the students return on Monday, we will be in the final stretch. As the warm weather arrives, we will all need to keep focus knowing that hard work will lead to summer vacation. During this last month or so, let’s all stay positive and productive! Welcome Back!

From the Library
April break is here! The library is looking for photos of where books went over break. I would love to have photographs of books with their readers to display in the library windows with the caption "Oh, The Places Our Books Go!" This can be as simple as snapping a photograph with a McKelvie reader and book in a comfy spot at home in Bedford to a McKelvie reader and book on a beach in the tropics. Email the picture with your child's name and the location to cotej@sau25.net. I will print and display all of the pictures I receive! Staff are invited to participate as well! Thank you in advance for participating. I can't wait to see where books travel over break. Enjoy the vacation!

SCHOOL SUPPLY KIT PROGRAM UPDATE - Due to unforeseen circumstances with our supplier, PTG will be unable to offer pre-purchased school supply kits to families for 2018/19 school year. Teachers will still provide supply lists that families can utilize to shop on their own for supplies before the start of the school year.
Please note that we will be working on finding an alternative and we hope to re-introduce this program next spring for 2019/20 school year supplies. Thank you for your understanding as we continue to work to find the best supplier to meet Bedford School District’s needs.
