Hello Bulldog Families!
It is already the last week of October! This is a busy week at Bexley… keep reading to learn more!
Thank you to our awesome PTO for a fun-filled Halloween Dance on Friday night. It was wonderful to see so many families and students having a “spooky time”.
This week is Red Ribbon Week and will end with our first annual Vocabulary Parade. Each day on the WDOG News Show, we will share an important fact about drug prevention. Students are encouraged to wear RED on Wednesday as their statement to live a drug-free life.
We are excited about our first Vocabulary Parade, and encourage everyone to get involved! The parade will start at 10:00 am, in our Bus Loop. Parents who would like to watch may park in the main parking lot after arrival, and enter through the pedestrian gate to the left of the school to line the bus loop. Look for the signs to direct you. The gate will be open at 9:50 am. Student costumes should showcase a favorite vocabulary word or align with a class theme, and include a sign with the word and its meaning. Please note: Costumes may not include a mask or any weapons (even fake ones) and should be school appropriate. The flyer is attached for more details.

- For car riders, be sure the tag is up when you enter the car line. Remember to take it down from your mirror as soon as your child is unloaded at arrival or loaded at dismissal.
