New Pick Up Procedures

Bridge Valley’s newer regulations regarding building security have caused some confusion and complication with Brownie/Girl Scout pick up. Prior to the new year, the green doors and main office doors had been unlocked, so parents could just come into the building to pick students up from after school activities. Effective 1/2/13, all of the doors to the building are locked at all times. The main office is staffed until 4:30 each day.

For all future pick ups, we have been informed that the entire troop should dismiss by the way of the green door.  Parents come to the green doors where we will be standing with the group of girls. 

 

Our meetings (2/22 and 3/8), will run until 5:30pm since we will also be rehearsing for Lip Sync. After that pick up is at 5pm.

 

If for any reason, you need to pick up Brownie before the scheduled time, you will need to let me know prior to the meeting.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Just a reminder that Our Family...Our Troop Potluck is tomorrow night (Friday, 1/25)!

January 25, 2013

Bridge Valley Elementary Cafeteria

6:30 p.m.

 

Brownies should plan on sharing their Family Story Tree with us tomorrow night. So, please make sure it is complete.

 

During the potluck we will also have our Court of Awards where the girls will receive the badges/patches that they have earned until now.

Brownies should wear their uniform.

Your Brownie should also bring her Brownie Bucks earned to date. They will have the opportunity to "shop" after the dinner.

Please remember the deadline to complete homework assignments was yesterday, so please check the previous homework post to see what your Brownie still had not turned in. If she has completed them, please let me know TODAY as I am finishing the court of awards presentations tonight.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. See you all tomorrow!

Homework Reminders

At Friday's Family Dinner Celebration, your Brownies will also be receiving the badges they have earned to date.

So, this is a reminder that if your Brownie has any incomplete homework assignments, I will need them submitted by this Wednesday (1/23) as I need time to prepare for Friday's Court of Awards Presentation.

1. Feeling Faces (Jayden?)

2. Old Photo (Ava, Claire, Cianna, Jayden, Maura, Sophia?)

3. Try 3 news foods or 3 new exercises (all Brownies still need to complete this?)

All of the above homework assignments just need confirmation that the assignment has been completed. You can just send me an email...

4. My Family Story (family tree - needs to be presented by all Brownies at the Family Celebration Friday night.)

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
