Dear Lovely C.H.B. Community,
Thank you to everyone who joined the PTA meeting this Tuesday. Thank you for the comments and suggestions. Keep the good ideas coming, and if you have ideas for any fun Zoom-based community events for our CHB students, let us know, and best of all, help organize an event, and we will provide the Zoom account access.
Get the glow sticks ready, turn off the lights, log onto Zoom and dance the night away! Yeah. Tomorrow at 7 pm! See you there or be square!
Sunday, it’s time to be creative with Ms. Comeau and Sassy Cat. Join in at 3 pm this Valentine’s Day.
Coming up this week are rehearsals for the annual CHB Talent Show.
Have a lovely weekend!
Love to you all.

Dear Caregivers,
We are excited to announce the formation of the Bullock Anti Racist Equity Team, “B.A.R.E.T”. The mission of this committee is to cultivate an inclusive and equitable community where all students have the opportunity to thrive at CHB and beyond. We welcome the participation of parents, caregivers, teachers, and administrators. In order to best understand the opportunities for improvement in our school community surrounding issues of racism, equity, and inclusion, we have prepared the survey below.
Currently, there is also an exciting opportunity to apply for an Excellence in Equity grant from MFEE.The survey will help us ensure that those resources are allocated to the areas most important to the community – and eventually help to measure the impact of our efforts. Please take a few minutes to fill it out so that we can work to create the best possible equitable environment for our children. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to: co-chairs, Johanna Budzilowicz and Kimberly Latortue. If you are interested in working with the committee, please let us know.
We look forward to sharing our results and action items with the school community.
Thank you,
B.A.R.E.T.

Family Fun Dance has gone VIRTUAL!
Get your music request ready!
Join us Saturday, February 13th at 7 p.m. via zoom and make it a family dance party. Dress up or dress down, log in, and get ready to dance to DJ Migz.
GLOW STICKS (Wuhu!:) will be available via your class parents starting Tuesday, February 9th. Look out for an email for when and where to pick up.
Join us for an hour of fun! Use what you already have at home or can easily get at the grocery store. Prior to the event prepare a roomy workspace, cover it with newspaper or paper bags, and gather your supplies. Dress up if you feel like it! Let your stuffies come watch! Wear a costume, a crown, or valentine colors – red, white, pink, silver or gold. Sassy Cat and Ms. Comeau will have fancy hats.
Supplies:
Use what you already have; check your closets and your cardboard recycling bin!
-
Construction paper, scrapbook paper, wrapping paper (cut to a manageable size before the event)
-
Cardboard from cereal boxes and/or frozen food boxes (white inside is optimal)
-
Pencil, scissors, drawing and coloring tools
-
Glue stick or tacky glue is the best, but Elmers or tape will work also.
-
Other things leftover from crafting…. pom poms, glitter glue, foam shapes, stickers, ribbon, paper doilies, fancy edge cutting scissors, washi tape, gems and sequins, buttons, pipe cleaners, etc.
Ms. Comeau & Sassy Cat look forward to seeing you all!
