Library News:
Happy weekend, McKelvie! Five more days until our break. The library has been bustling with activity! Our 225 Rubik's Cubes are solved thanks to Madame Taccini and several helpers and are on their way back to the lending company! Several 5th grade classes have been to the library for a lesson on the importance of note taking, there has been a steady stream of students coming to borrow books, and we have had students continue to personalize scratch art bookmarks!
Thank you to the Bedford PTG for bringing the bulldog back to our library. We love when he visits. Click HERE to see the Bedford PTG Bulldog ready for the season.
We did it! This has been a work in progress for several weeks, but as a community, we solved a 1,000 piece puzzle of the United States. Click HERE to see the puzzle solved.
Have a great weekend! ~Mrs. Cote
A message from the Bedford Education Foundation:
The hot lunch program has an exceptionally tasty and healthy meal on Tuesday, December 17th. We will be offering a Burger Bar! The bar includes a local grass fed organic patty from Brookford Farms in Canterbury or a veggie burger. Toppings include cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion & pickles. It will be paired with sweet potato fries, fresh radishes and carrot sticks, fresh fruit and milk. Why should our students be eating grass fed beef? There are a number of nutritional benefits when comparing conventional grain fed beef and grass fed beef, the major one being the fat profile. Grass fed beef is a great source of beneficial brain boosting omega 3 fatty acids. The beef is also organic and sourced locally so don't miss out on this delicious lunch!
