Parent Help Group: I want to personally thank everyone that helped to provide dinner for the BMS teachers on Monday and Tuesday of last week during parent teacher conferences. The food was amazing and it was greatly appreciated. Stranger Danger: Last week I mentioned that there have been some stranger danger incidents that were reported. Here are some helpful safety tips. · Know where your children are at all times. Make it a rule that your children must ask permission or check in with you before going anywhere. Give your children your work and cell phone numbers so they can reach you at all times. · Point out safe places. Show your children safe places to play, safe roads and paths to take and safe places to go if there’s trouble. · Teach children to trust their instincts. Explain that if they ever feel scared or uncomfortable, they should get away as fast as they can and tell an adult. Tell them that sometimes adults they know may make them feel uncomfortable, and they should still get away as fast as possible and tell another adult what happened. Reassure children that you will help them when they need it. · Teach children to be assertive. Make sure they know that it’s OK to say no to an adult and to run away from adults in dangerous situations. · Encourage your children to play with others. There is safety in numbers! · As always, if you see any suspicious activity, please call 911 and report it immediately. It is unfortunate that these types of incidents take place but we must take them seriously. Please know that your child’s safety is of the utmost importance to us. Face Painting: The BHS Thespian Society is having another face painting fundraiser. Please come to the last home football game of the year to show your support.
