LATEST NEWS

 Your PTO at work - here are a few of the things that the Birchwood PTO has sponsored this year:

1) Reflex math will be available for all students next year. A 2nd and 3rd grade class received a grant to use it in their classrooms. The teachers found it helpful with math facts and the PTO voted to purchase it for all students during the next school year. 

2) Ice Cream Social - end of year free event

3) Mr Ding A Ling at Field Day

4) Design and installation of a sign describing the "Only One You" project inspired by the book by Linda Kranz


We'd like to acknowledge Chris Pai from Pai’s Tarkwondo for a generous donation to our athletics department. We were able to buy new mats and sports supplies with his donation. 

Be on the lookout for an anonymous survey looking for productive feedback. It will help us figure out what we’re doing right, what we need to change, and what we might not need to do anymore. â€‹
Forget to order a yearbook for your student? Buy online by Friday to have it in school for signatures! 
$25 for the 2017-2018 edition

Feeling nostalgic? You can buy the 2016-2017 edition for only $5!

 
Make sure to check the lost and found! At the end of the school year, what is left will be donated. 

Friends of Music (FOM) update

 

Don’t forget to contact me if you, or if you and a friend, are interested in being a Friends of Music Liaison!

Do you enjoy the music programs here at Birchwood for our students? Music for kindergarten through 5th grade, introduction of orchestra and band instruments, and voice singing? If you are interested in helping support our music program here at Birchwood, please let me know. I will be ‘retiring’ at the end of this school year, as my daughter will be graduating from Birchwood. I’m looking for someone (or you and a friend) to take over my Friends of Music (FOM) Liaison role. Friends of Music really supports our students at each school and at all levels. We need your support to keep giving our students the best musical experience that we can. Email me if you have any questions about FOM or if you are interested! (oconnkl@verizon.net). It’s a really simple and great way to support the music program in our schools.
