Hi Families!
Get ready for some fun as we focus on Creativity this month! This is our 9th and final character trait focus for the year.
One way to think about creativity is “using your imagination to create something new or solve a problem.” Opportunities to be creative are all around us.
Have some fun connecting as a family while practicing creativity. Here is a fun and simple way: bring back the silliness of Mad Libs! These printable Mad Libs can teach children parts of speech while using their imaginations to create a story. You’ll find vacation-fun, party invitations, and more!
Enjoy!

Summer Garden Water Volunteers Wanted!
Summer volunteers are needed to keep our school garden alive and thriving over the spring and summer!
Please SIGN UP HERE for one (or more weeks) to water the school garden 4 days (or more) a week. There are also a few weekends in June we need volunteers for!
After you have signed up you will receive a confirmation of your assignment with watering instructions. It's all pretty simple and is a fun way to visit the school and playground and enjoy the garden over the summer!
Thank you to our fantastic school garden volunteers!

From kindergarten classrooms to high school programs, Bainbridge Schools Foundation helps fund academic intervention, educator resources, and student well-being programs that reach every school and every student.
This spring, we’re working to raise $100,000 by June 30, and every dollar donated will be matched up to $40,000 by a generous BSF supporter. If you've been waiting to make a donation, now's your chance to double your impact!
Your gift, no matter the size, helps ensure all Bainbridge students continue to have access to the opportunities and support they need to learn and thrive!

Grad-O-Grams are special notes, memories, and/or congratulations you can send to students as they head off to new adventures. This is an excellent way for family, friends, neighbors, community members, etc. to show support to graduates!
Completed grams are due by June 5. Shh! This is a secret and grads will receive them the day before graduation.
