 Hello Scottie Families!
We are so excited to see everyone at the PTO Spring Carnival tonight, from 6-8 PM! This is always a great family event, with games, food, and other fun activities. As a reminder, this is a family event, and students must be accompanied by an adult. We can't wait to see you this evening!
As we continue to plan for our summer bookmobile, we need your support! Please consider making a donation of any new or gently used books to contribute to this summer reading initiative! New and/or gently used books will be collected through June 16, 2023 in boxes outside the library by the music room. See the bookmobile section below for more information.
Have a great weekend!

Positivity Project
Focus for the Week: Power of Your Character
Significance: It brings the Other People Mindset element of My Words and Actions Affect Others to life by focusing on the concept that our character is revealed in how we impact others.
Quote of the Week: “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

A few amazing highlights that happened this week...
Sixth Grade Promotion Ceremony
Our 6th grade promotion ceremony is scheduled for June 15, from 9-10 AM, in the BBES cafeteria. We are excited to celebrate our 6th graders’ promotion to middle school! Due to limited seating in the cafeteria, we are recommending up to two guests for each family. Should we reach maximum capacity in the cafeteria, we will live stream the ceremony to the gymnasium for overflow viewing. This is a special day for our 6th grade students and families, and we look forward to recognizing them on Thursday, June 15 from 9-10 AM!
Mental Health Awareness Month
“May Day” is an emergency procedure word used internationally as a distress signal in voice-procedure radio communications. The new 9-8-8 number is a suicide and crisis lifeline, similar to 9-1-1 in a medical/safety emergency. One in six youth, aged 6-17, experience a mental health condition each year. Please click here for more information on Mental Health Awareness Month.
May Parent Coffee
Join us Friday, May 26 for our final parent coffee of the year. Hear from our mental health team on ways to support your child with mental health and wellness during the summer months. We look forward to seeing you in the cafeteria, from 8:40-9:25 AM on May 26!
Bonnie Brae Bookmobile
This summer, Bonnie Brae Elementary School (BBES) will introduce the Bonnie Brae Bookmobile to provide books to students during Summer 2023. The Bonnie Brae Bookmobile will run on July 6, 2023 from 10 a.m.-12p.m. and July 25, 2023 from 2-4 p.m. and will be stopping at four locations in the community, with the last stop being the BBES parking lot, to distribute books and popsicles to our students! Community stops will be announced before the end of the school year.
We need your support! Please consider making a donation of any new or gently used books to support this summer reading initiative! New and/or gently used books will be collected through June 16, 2023 in boxes outside the library by the music room. Questions or suggestions? Please contact Karen Radcliffe at keradcliffe@fcps.edu.
