A Note from Mrs. B 
Hey there from the beehive!
I had so much fun watching your children shine yesterday at the triathlon. I hope that they know how proud I am of all of them!  I’m also so thankful that the weather was much more ideal this year—beautiful and breezy! Well, we have another short week ahead of us because of fall break. I hope that y’all enjoy your time of rest and get some good family time in! Take this opportunity to sit and read together as a family this weekend; maybe a fall-inspired book! Silly voices and passion for reading will help your kiddos love reading more than they already do!  BA points are due tonight so make sure to finish those up if you haven’t already! Happy Fall Break!
Love in Christ, Mrs. B 
