A Note from Principal Farrington Dear Birchview Families,
It is 'I Love to Read' month at Birchview and we are continuing to celebrate reading with our students. We have book drawings for our students, cozy reading days, and the Virtual Book Fair. To wrap up our month of celebrating, we will 'dress like our favorite book characters' on Friday, February 26. We are looking forward to seeing all the fun book characters next week.
Thank you for your support of our Virtual Book Fair. So far, we have over $1500 of sales. The book fair will remain open until February 25. See information below to visit our virtual book fair and find great book titles for your child.
Lastly, a big shout out goes to our distance learning students and teachers this week! They made the transition to every day live instruction with ease. Thanks to staff, families, and students for all of your efforts to support all students in their transitions.
Have a fantastic weekend!
In partnership, Mr. Farrington
