BRE AMAZING RACE
By now we hope you have heard all about the incredible day at BRE on Friday, September 16, when the BRE students toured the globe during the first BRE Amazing Race. The kids had a fantastic time and felt proud heading home with their passports and dog tags. This event was a huge success and we want to reiterate our gratitude to all of those who gave in so many ways (contributions, volunteer hours, getting the kids ready and excited, etc).  Thanks to you, we raised over $38,000 for our school!  Our success is your success so thanks so much for all you do!

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
The first Box Top Challenge is off and running!  If your kids haven’t started collected Box Tops yet, there is still time. The current Box Top challenge (Score with Box Tops!) will be going on now through the month of October. Simply go into your pantry or look on boxes/packages on things you already have at home to find Box Tops and then have the kids bring them into their teacher. We are keeping score of the Box Tops collected by grade and you can see those results on the Broncos rug hanging in the hallway.  Thanks for supporting this fun challenge!
