Attention! Attention!
If you or a family member have ever participated in Mrs. Carma Reidy's Annual Taste of Thai Cultural experience, we have important news for you!
There will be an Open House following this year's Taste of Thai experience, which will take place on February 23 from 4 to 5:30 in the BIS gym. Mrs. Reidy invites past 3rd grade students to come in for the 20th (and final) Third Grade Taste of Thai Day. Students can visit with Mrs. Reidy's brother and sister-in-law, Mark and Pradit Dawson; share memories about their own Third Grade Taste of Thai Day experience, sample some amazing Thai food, and walk down memory lane as this outstanding cultural experience draws to a close.

Our 4th graders at the BIS have been exploring the Winter Olympic Games to implement some fun lessons. Each 4th grade teacher represented six of the sports: Skeleton, bobsledding, alpine skiing, snowboarding, curling and ice hockey!
Way to go, Bears and let's go, Team USA!

If Super Bowl 7th grade ELA style demonstrates anything, these students were great predictors that the Seahawks would be winning yesterday's game! Students played a game of football by answering questions over the standards they have been working on in Mrs. Shelby Capper's class at BJSHS. Correct answers allowed the students to advance the ball to score touchdowns! Way to go, Bruins (and Seahawks!)
