The Carnival is back after a 2 year hiatus! This is the largest event PTA hosts for our school community and it cannot happen without your help. We need volunteer Amusement Attendants in 1.5 hour shifts. Amusements include bounce houses, obstacle courses, crafts, and face painting. All volunteers will receive a free t-shirt! Also remember to purchase your wristbands ($5 per child) in advance to help us plan for attendee numbers.
Congratulations to Emma Siegle, Spanish teacher at Billingsville-Cotswold Elementary, Cotswold Campus, for being selected as the CMS April Beginning Teacher of the Month!
Emma was nominated by her principal, Alicia Hash, New Teacher mentor, Dianne Burke and Charity Prelipp, 5th Grade Teacher! They wrote:
“Ms. Siegel has done an amazing job as a first-year teacher. As our IB Spanish Teacher she has brought a love of learning for Foreign Language. Her lessons are engaging and hands-on and students enjoy going to her class. Ms. Siegel has also jumped in as a team player! She is a bus lot leader, Fifth Grade Math Co-Teacher when needed, a mentor to our Fifth Grade Girls, an after-school tutor, and an extra set of hands whenever duty calls. Ms. Siegel really is just an amazingly sweet person and really cares about the kids and me. She is beyond willing to help me in any way, shape, or form-from making copies and grabbing supplies, to pulling a student to help them with their work or mentoring them when they’re having a bad day. With my health, she has stepped in for a few minutes to let me take care of any physical needs. She participates in our morning meetings and has really become part of our class. The kids adore her and love Spanish this year, in a way I haven’t seen in a long time. We are so excited to have her as part of the BCE Community!”
The PTA is excited to partner with local organization Classroom Central to provide school supplies for our students and classrooms next year! Classroom Central will put together all required school supplies for each grade level and conveniently deliver them to your child’s classroom for the first day of school!
