Hello,
Last one for 2024!!!
December 20, 2024
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, guardians and friends of Bowcroft who came out to our two nights of winter celebrations. The students did FANTASTIC! A huge Thank You to all the homeroom teachers for practicing the poems and songs with the students. I am sure that you, the parents, have heard the songs being sung at home for many weeks! Ms. Hou has now successfully completed her first winter concerts of her career! Congratulations, Ms. Hou! Well done! We are so blessed to have her.
We are happy to share some final good news:
We received funding for a 15 hr/wk EA for Jan 6 to March 14 to support kindergarten full time in the morning $6,775 as well as funding for new div 2 curriculum: $5,794.00.
Frau McCashin is also welcoming a German student teacher on January 6, 2025. Her name is Madlen Ludwig. Madlen will be helping Frau McCashin every day, all day until April!.
Wishing everyone a happy holiday. We will return to school on January 6, 2025!
Warm regards,
Meike Thomsen, Principal
