Dear McKelvie Families ~
TONIGHT is the Faculty Basketball game! If you enjoy watching grown adults attempt to be athletic, this is your event! Each year this event is so fun and successful that we have to hold it at Bedford High School. Doors open at 6pm and the “game” starts at 6:30. Don’t think less of me after you see me play!
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day to all of our wonderful moms out there! You are appreciated and LOVED!

Destination Imagination - Shoes, Bags & Belt Drive Thru End of May
Bedford DI are having a special drive through Ecosmith Recyclers. From now until May 30th, you can donate all your old shoes, bags and belts (any condition) in the marked boxes in our school lobby. These items must be placed in a special blue bag, but we can do that for you. This is a great way to get your spring cleaning under way, while helping raise funds for the teams heading to Global Finals in Knoxville, TN. Reminder, clothing, fabrics, stuffed animals etc can always be donated in the bin in the parking lot. We appreciate your support. For more info, contact bedfordrocksdi@gmail.com

From the Library
The library remains a busy place despite the warm weather! We have numerous book clubs coming to use the space to read, discuss, and jot! It has been a true pleasure to check in with them and listen to them read. Many classes have been using the library for resouces to develop a New Google Site that they created with the help of, Susan Cavanaugh, our Technology Integrator. There are classes that have come in to create various types of poetry including blackout poetry and book spine poetry. Click HERE to see an example of book spine poetry. Chess, checkers, Jenga and Connect Four are popular during recess times. As always, the space is used for book shopping! New books are added to our collection on a regular basis and are often highly sought after. Many books do not even hit the shelves before they are requested or checked out by students! Destiny Discover (our search interface) is being highly used.
Click HERE to see Bailey, Miss French's certified emotional support dog, visiting last Friday during recess times. What a treat!
