New Year’s Reading

Reading Challenge calendar from Scholastic.

some of these fun activities together!
Snow Day Lunch
Info./Announcements
Some parents across the
district have asked if there is a rule of thumb when determining the lunch menu
on the day following a snow day. There is no rule as the menu for that
day is dependent upon what was on the menu the day of the snow day, what prep
the kitchen had to do, and what fresh produce the kitchen had ordered.
Therefore, our district’s Food Service Director (Emily Murphy) has decided to
provide an announcement on the SAU’s website (www.sau25.net) in the District
News box, which will detail, by school, what the hot lunch offering
will be the day following the snow day. This information will be
available the day of the snow day.

REMINDERS:
Food Drive
RBS is working with the Bedford Food Pantry to help collect food
items that are most needed by families.
Every other month we will be collecting 1 food item. For
the month of January, that item is TUNA.
If you are able, please bring in cans of tuna until Wednesday, January
31st. We will have a box for
donations in the office hallway outside of the library. Thank you so much for supporting this very
worthy cause, which supports Bedford families.
Two-Hour Delay Morning Drop-off
Just a friendly
reminder….when we have a 2-hour delay, the earliest that students can be
dropped off is 9:30 AM. That is the time
when staff members are on duty and able to monitor the students.
