Bulletin Moving To School Notes

Hello everyone, our BSS online Bulletin will be MOVING! Yes, we are now up and running on the new schoolnotes website. We believe that this will make your life even easier. Remembering to check us for updates will no longer be an issue. Just go to our school notes account, sign up to be notified via email as changes and updates are made and you will have all the BSS info. at your fingertips, all the time! Three pages have been created. BSS Notices will have a running calendar at the top of the page. Below will be all important information and notices. We have created a flyer page. Here you will be able to find numerous flyers that have been sent home. Thirdly, we have a Nurse Notes page. Here you will find any information that our school nurses have sent along. Please make sure to pass this message along to all BSS families that you know. A hardcopy notice will be coming home to everyone early next week. As a PTO we continually strive to keep ALL of our families updated and aware. Your patience through this change has been greatly appreciated.

Cold and Allergy Symptoms

Please remember to treat your children’s cold and allergy symptoms at home to help them be as comfortable as possible during the school day. The nurse’s office does not have any medications to dispense other than Tylenol. If you want your child to use cough drops/throat lozenges during the school day, please send in just enough for his/her personal use for that day. Students are also encouraged to carry their own lip balm for chapped lips as well.

Show The Soldiers That We Care

We are collecting goodies for the 5th Annual Christmas Stockings for Soldiers program for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. We want to show the soldiers that they are appreciated and remembered during the holiday season.

Suggested items to donate:
Candy, such as gum, fruit roll-ups & gushers(no chocolate please), cracker jacks, beef Slim Jims, pretzels and drink mixes (lemonade and flavored fruit drinks), individual flavored teas, hot drink mixes, commercially packaged trail mix, nuts, cookies, chips, Ramen soup, small cans of tuna, lasagna, Beefaroni, and canned fruit. Pocket games & puzzles, DVD movies, music CD's, paperback books, current magazines and Beanie Babies are also appreciated. Small sizes of toiletries & lotions, white crew socks, hand and foot warmers, fly swatters, AT&T phone cards, decks of cards, disposable cameras, and a holiday greeting card with your messages of support & friendship are also needed. If you include your return address (email or snail), you might hear back from the soldier who receives your stocking. (Please no baked goods or soap products).

Please place your donations in the boxes outside the gym by November 7, 2008.

Financial donations are appreciated to cover the cost of postage. Please put monetary donations in the box in the school office.
