GRANDPARENTS’ DAY 2024
Bakersfield Elementary will be celebrating Grandparents’ Day on Friday, September 6th. The event will start at 1:30 p.m. and will end at 2:30 p.m. Our students have worked hard to prepare for this fun event, and we are all excited for you to join us! Parking will be available down the hill and in the High School parking lot. We will try our best to provide shuttle vans to take grandparents up and down the hill. The vans have plates that read “LION”. If you need a ride, we will pick up and drop off near the steps of the FEMA building. If you have students in multiple classes, you are welcome to sign out the oldest from their homeroom teacher and take them with you to the youngest student’s class. Refreshments will be served in your grandchild’s homeroom. If you wish to take your grandchild home, you may, provided that the parents have sent written permission and you sign them out with the homeroom teacher. We ask that all grandparents leave promptly at 2:30 so that we are able to begin our end of the day procedures.

I believe today is the last day of Summer School, and I forgot to post these pictures from last week. I do one week with middle schoolers who want to come to Summer School, and we do FACS (Home Ec) related projects. The students made homemade butter and strawberry jam and then biscuits from the buttermilk. We also made DIY stress balls, learned to sew stitches and sew on buttons, and each student made a small handsewn pillow. We made tie-dye T-shirts and helped kindergarten students make tie-dye projects as well. The middle school learned about finances and budgeting by saving points to spend at our "company store". We enjoyed a snack of our own "s'mores" cones and spent one morning at the West Plains pool with the elementary-age children and their teachers. It was an enjoyable, packed week!
Free Athletic physicals will be in the Jerry Taylor Gymnasium on Friday, July 12 from 2-5 PM.
Middle school students in summer school went to the greenhouse today. They learned how to take cuttings from Wandering Jew plants and transplant them into hanging baskets. Doing this now will give the plants ample amount of time to fill out before our annual plant sale next spring.
