Family Monday Message, January 22, 2024

Bagley Families,

To be prepared for Remote Learning we have been asking for laptops and iPads to go back and forth. But, sometimes devices are left at home, making it hard for students to participate in some school time work. Please support your children in making sure they bring their device back to school if they are sent home.

Daniel Bagley PTA’s Annual Direct Give Campaign starts next week, Jan. 29-Feb. 16th.  This fundraiser is critical to the PTA’s ability to continue to support our students at Daniel Bagley Elementary in an impactful way. The campaign goal is $46,500 (includes $5,000 corporate match).  More details to come soon.  Thank you for your continued support of our amazing school!

Appreciations

Each week we share appreciations for our staff and adult community at Bagley in the Nectar News video. We would love it if families wanted to take some time to share a shout out at this link. Bagley Appreciations

Afterschool Snacks:

We have about 15 hard-working Bagley students that stay after school for extra learning support time, and they could really use some snacks to help keep them fueled while they work! If you are able to help by donating pre-packaged snacks, please sign up.

Ultimate Frisbee is a team sport that incorporates cooperation, fun, and flying discs!  We are preparing for a fantastic spring season on the field!  This opportunity is open to ALL 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders.  There is no need for prior playing experience.  There will be one after-school practice each week (day, time, and location to be determined) and games on Saturdays, most of which are held at Magnuson park.  The season runs from late February until May.
