The staff at Bickel did many THINGS to celebrate Read Across America Week. They read Dr. Seuss stories and symbolized them in the clothes that they wore each day. The game was to see if the students picked up on the staff all dressing the same. From Stars and Stripes, to crazy hats and wacky hair everyone had lots of fun. Don't forget to submit your child's reading minutes for the week to their teachers.
It’s that time again! ⏰ Don’t forget to spring forward—Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 9th! Set your clocks ahead one hour.🌞 #DaylightSavingTime #SpringForward

Congratulations to last week's readers. Miss. McNeil's class read more than anyone else in the school. Keep up the great work.
A very special thanks to 208 Realty for their recent donation. Jill Stone, Olivia Jackson, and Terry Winkle of 208 Realty dropped off tissues and disinfecting wipes from a drive that they had at their office. We truly appreciate their generous gift.

It seems like it was just last week that we announced the Penny War Competition. It looks like a tight race between popcorn and popsicles. Tomorrow will decide who reigns victorious. Tomorrow will be the last day to put your 2 cents in on who should win. Thanks everyone!

Ms. Angell's first graders recently read several versions of The Little Red Hen. Then they all helped bake a cake. Everyone wanted to help, nobody said, "Not I!" Everyone helped to eat the cake, too.

We take our fire drills very seriously. "I am not scared, I am prepared" is the motto we live by. Through practice our staff & students are better prepared in case of a true emergency. Mr. TJ is always looking out for us. For our last fire drill he was the fire blocking an exit. This made us practice responding in an alternate way. Everyone did an amazing job. Just a reminder: School dismisses at 2:00 on Mondays and this Monday is Picture Day!
