Invitation for Parents

Shoes for Sugarbelle!

SHOES for Sugarbelle

Beginning October 2-27 the Earthsavers/Science Club will be collecting shoes for our Shoes For Sugarbelle  Fundraiser. Please send in your used/old shoes.  THANK YOU!!

About the program:

Sugarbelle Foundation is a registered 501-c3, whose mission is to keep pets and people together. We accomplish this by providing financial assistance, to the best of our ability, to pet owners and Good Samaritans who have an animal in need, temporary fosters homes, food, and any other necessary items for pets and their people.

All donated shoes are redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of microenterprise partners in developing nations.  Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America and Africa. Proceeds from the shoe sales are in turn to feed, clothe and house their families. Funds2Org believes the HAND UP is more beneficial than the HAND OUT because it teaches people how to be self-sufficient which is also what Sugarbelle Foundation strives to do when helping pets and their families. 

See You At the Pole

BGIS First Priority will host

"SEE YOU AT THE POLE"

Way to go BGIS!

Thank you so much for your support of our Hats for Hurricane drive.  BGIS raised over $1500.00 for San Jacinto Intermediate School in Texas.  We also received many donated items to send to Texas.  A segment aired on Fox 6 News with a story about the connection to San Jacinto Intermediate:

Hurricane Help

Brock’s Gap Intermediate School would like to help our friends in Texas that are suffering from the devastation and flooding caused by the recent hurricane. We are adopting a school in Texas  (San Jacinto Intermediate with Pasadena Independent School District )and collecting money and gift cards that will go directly to the families of children in the school to help with relief efforts.  On Friday, September 15th, we will have “Hat Day”.  Students may wear their favorite hat all day and make a minimum $1.00 donation.  You may also donate Walmart gift cards.  

If you would rather donate items, a local church is leaving on September 16th to Texas.  They are collecting the following supplies only:  Cases of bottled water, baby diapers, baby wipes, baby formula, construction grade trash bags, leather gloves, disposable cleaning gloves, respirator breathing masks, and cases of Clorox.Brock’s Gap will get the supplies to the church the afternoon of the 15th.

Thank you in advance for helping BGIS!

Message from PTO ~ BGIS T-Shirts

BGIS will have spirit days on Thursdays, so we would love for you to encourage your students to wear these or any spirit shirt to show their school spirit each week!

They are also great to wear on spirit nights, football games, field trips, Camp McDowell and for parents and chaperones.

We still have inventory in youth adult sizes, and orders will be filled going forward as they come in (usually within a week.)  They can be ordered on myschoolfees.  All Spirit Wear orders through Augjust 17th have been distributed to the homeroom teachers to hand out last week.  If any parents have questions about their orders they are welcome to contact me directly at Ashley Mason (ashleybmason@yahoo.com)

Page 51 in the agenda needs to be signed by students and parents and returned no later than Wednesday, August 30th.

A message from the school nurse...

Parents,

Please make sure you contact the school nurse with any need for your child to have medication at school. A prescriber/parent authorization form must be presented to the nurse along with the medication before any student is allowed to have medication at school.

An adult needs to bring the medication along with the signed paperwork to the nurse. If you have any questions, please call Tyra Walker, RN at
439-1630.

A message from the BGIS Counselors...

At BGIS the school counseling services are addressed through the three major domains of the American School Counselor Association - Academic, Career, and Personal/Social.  We are asking parents, teachers, and students to complete a short needs assessment in order to help us provide services through our counseling program.  Thank you for your time and input.  We look forward to working and collaborating with you this year!
