Congratulations to Mrs. Lester's 2nd grade class for being the first ever March Madness Attendance winners! Shout out to Miss Ella and Mrs. Jackson for spearheading this fun competition! 🏀📚
Good evening Beaver Kit families! Tonight at midnight is the deadline to order a yearbook online. If you miss this you can send exact cash or a check, made out to Strawbridge, by the end of the school day tomorrow to get a last minute order in. We are excited to welcome you to our spring parties this week. The main loop will be blocked off for our egg hunt so please park in any available spots in the parking lot and tennis court lot next to the school. Reminder that this is a BPS student only event, please make arrangements for siblings. Thank you and have a great evening!
Good evening Beaver Kits! We will be having our Spring parties this week and will offer ice cream on different days due to scheduling. Pre K & Kindergarten will be having their parties on Wednesday from 12:30-1:30. 1st and 2nd grade will buy ice cream on Wednesday. 1st & 2nd grade parties will be on Thursday from 12:30-1:30. Pre-K & Kindergarten can buy ice cream on Thursday. Thank you!
Good afternoon. This message is for parents of students on bus 684. The bus is currently at the school with some mechanical trouble. They are sending another bus to transport your students. Please be patient as this may take some time, and the bus will be running late. You are welcome to come to the school in person for parent pick up. Please use the parent loop, and we will send your student out to you.
Good evening Beaver Kits! This is a reminder that tomorrow, Monday March 23rd, is spring pictures. We also will kick off our March Madness Penny War! Students can bring in spare change to compete against other grades! We will also have our Title One Parent Involvement on Thursday from 6:00-7:00. This is geared more towards parent involvement at home, what you can do to help, and the sessions are for parents and only 30 minutes. You will be receiving a RSVP tomorrow in your child's folder. Please complete this and return it on Tuesday. Thank you!
We would like to invite you to celebrate with your student(s) at our upcoming Spring Party. We are still in need of pre-filled eggs to hide for a student egg hunt. We are very grateful for any donations. Thank you!
Good evening! We respectfully ask for donations of pre-filled plastic eggs for our spring class parties coming up soon. We can accept donations until March 27th and appreciate any support. Thank you!
Good evening Beaver Kits! All Trash to Treasure projects will be due by the end of the day Monday, March 16th. Our school-wide judging will take place on March 17th. We will be sending projects home with students if they are small enough. Parents can pick up larger projects March 18-20, if there are projects still at the school after March 20 they will be discarded. Thank you!
Earlier today, there was a police presence on campus as officers responded to an incident. The situation has been fully resolved, and there is no ongoing threat to our students or staff.
We appreciate the swift response from local law enforcement and the cooperation of our school community. As always, the safety and well-being of our students remain our top priority.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
