Principal's Message:

Hello Bull Run Families!

Thank you to all of our families, staff, and community members who joined us for our Veterans Day Parade and Assembly. It was truly an honor to host this meaningful event and to recognize the brave men and women who have served our country.

We are also proud to share that Bull Run will be honored at the School Board Meeting tomorrow evening at 7:00 p.m. as one of several schools being recognized as first-time Purple Star Recipient Schools. This distinction highlights our continued commitment to supporting military-connected students and their families.

Looking ahead into next week, we invite you to join us at our Partnering for Progress in Literacy Night on Tuesday, November 18th. Please see the graphic and information below for details. We hope to see you there!

Reminders:

-Tomorrow, Friday November 14, is our next SCA Spirit Day. It's Wacky Accessory Day! Let's see how creative our students and staff can be!

-Our Read-A-Thon continues through this Tuesday, November 18th! As a reminder here are some of the rewards students can earn:

If everyone in a class gets a grown-up to send 10 text messages to family and friends about our Read-a-thon… The whole class wins a Pajama Party!
If a family posts about the Read-a-thon on Social Media…. Your student will earn a free prize!

If a student reads at LEAST 100 minutes…. We will celebrate them by announcing their name on the news show or announcement system.
If a student reads a total of 500 minutes…. they get to have lunch with ME!!

Additionally, if a student is able to raise 100 dollars… they will earn a Free Homework Pass! If a student raises 250 dollars, they will earn an ice cream treat!

Have a great weekend!

-Mr. Marotta
