PTSA President's Welcome message:
Happy New Year,BF Day families!
Welcome to 2020, the year of focus. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, plus a few extra snowy days at home. I know I stayed focused on snow turning to rain!
Please join us for 'Take Your Parent To School Night' Thursday January 30th. You can arrive at the school anytime between 5:30 and 6:30. This is a fun night where students will be the tour guide to show you around their classroom, what they are learning, what they are most proud of, as well as where they have special classes and lunch.
So much to look forward to this year. Thursday, February 13th 5:30-7:00 is the Science Fair. Even if you don’t get around to participating please join. It’s a riot to see the different projects and support your classmates. Always a few crowd pleasing volcanoes and baked goods - because making butter is delicious and scientific!
We are looking forward to our annual ArtyParty. We’ve set the date for Saturday April 4th so mark your calendars. Please reach out to the PTSA if you are interested in volunteering! There are a plethora of ways to help big and small. For those of you needing some context
Arty Party – Our not-to-be-missed annual adult-only auction which honors one of the central tenants of BF Day. Families, merchants, teachers, and classrooms offer services and donations to be auctioned at this event. It is highly anticipated and so fun.
Welcome back and looking forward to seeing you then!

Thanksgiving Reflections:
As we move into the conference and Thanksgiving recess, many families will be gathering together to reflect upon the blessings and positive things in their lives. Here are some of my work-related gifts that I truly value and appreciate:
The privilege to work with a supportive and caring team of staff and parents
Students who give their all every day and work to resolve any problem or issue, as best they can
A school that values diversity and celebrates differences
Parents that offer insights and feedback to help make our partnership authentic
Staff who go the extra mile in supporting every student
A community that supports students emotionally, as well as academically
A PTSA who give countless hours of their time to make a difference in the programs and supports we offer
Staff who work nights and weekends to get their planning and record keeping done
The belief and work ethic around growth mindset and continual improvement
The grace to make mistakes, occasional misses in communication and the belief in positive intent from each of us.
My best to everyone during this upcoming Thanksgiving Break! Thank you for making this all possible.
Dragon Dens
One of the core beliefs of B. F. Day elementary is that we support and encourage socio-emotional growth for students and each other. Dragon Dens are monthly group meetings of mixed-grade groups who meet with the same adult every month. Students read books and engage with activities related to current topics and events, as well as conduct Q&A and workshops for the students to practice socio-emotional generosity and sensitivity. Ask your student about their dragon den, as they are a very special part of our school community. Our first Dragon Den this year will be held this Thursday afternoon, November 21st.
