A Letter from Ms. Bedford

Hello Smallville, 

We have kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month here on campus, I want to encourage everyone to take this time to celebrate the vibrant cultures, histories, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. This month offers a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about diversity, empathy, and the shared stories that enrich our school and community. We will acknowledge Hispanic Heritage Month through our PRIDE advisory lessons, daily announcements, and various events throughout the month. I encourage you to engage in conversations at home that support this learning.

I’m also thrilled to remind you about our upcoming Noche Latina dance! Scheduled for September 27th, this event promises an evening filled with lively music and plenty of fun. I encourage all of our Cougars to participate and make it a night to remember!

Additionally, our Fall Pumpkin Patch is just around the corner! Join us on October 6th for a day of outdoor fun, where families can pick pumpkins, enjoy seasonal treats, and participate in various activities. It’s a great way to embrace the fall season and create joyful memories with your children. Please note, that pumpkins and Food Vendors will require Cash or Cards, and you will need tickets for everything else. You can pre-purchase your ticket bundles for games and activities online. Plus, purchasing tickets in advance not only saves money but also enters you into a raffle for a $50 gift card basket from the PTA.

As we dive into these exciting events, I want to take a moment to reflect on the importance of savoring time with our kids. They grow up so quickly, and before we know it, they’ll be embarking on their own adventures. Let’s make an effort to cherish these everyday moments—whether it’s attending a school event, reading together, or simply enjoying each other’s company.

Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing everyone at our upcoming events! Have an amazing weekend! 

Stay Present Cougars,

Bedford
