GOOD TO KNOW
Five Schools, One Family For the past few years, the Five Schools, One Family initiative has sought to bring together the BV Southwest community by focusing on activities that unite the five schools in the family: Morse, Timbercreek, Wolf Springs, Aubry Bend, and Southwest. Check out the image to see what is going on at BVSW this week! Help By Taking Stock in Morse If you have yet to donate to Take Stock, you still have time! Remember that we do not do traditional fundraisers that ask you to sell wrapping paper or cookie dough. Instead, we ask parents and caregivers to fulfill teacher and staff grant requests: 100% of your Take Stock in Morse donation goes directly back into the classroom in the form of resources, educational materials, innovative programming, and cutting-edge technology. Teachers and staff will be submitting grants next month. You can donate to Take Stock through ParentVue. SAVE THE DATE: Morse Movie Night Mark your calendar for Morse PTO's Movie Night on October 7th at Morse Elementary. Enjoy a family-friendly event with the Morse community. More details coming soon! |
