Hello Byrd Families,

 

It’s hard to believe how fast this year has rolled by.  It’s time for our Spring Book Fair already!  We are hoping that you will take the opportunity to volunteer for this wonderful event.  The Book Fair will run the last week of April (24th -28th).  We will set up on Friday April 21, and break down on Monday May 1st (first thing in the morning).

 

We would like to have 4 volunteers at a time, so that if someone would like to have lunch with their child or needs a break we will have coverage.  You and your child will receive a 10% discount on any purchase as a token of appreciation from Mrs. Parrish.

 

Thank you for helping us to make this a great event for our children here at Byrd!!

Have a wonderful day!

Good evening Byrd family,

 

We hope you had a fantastic weekend!

 

This week the Good News Club will meet on Monday and Chess Club will meet on Tuesday.  2nd graders will continue to attend the Learn to Swim Program at the YMCA on Monday and Wednesday.

 

4th and 5th graders who have participated in the Reading Olympics program this year will travel to Goochland Elementary School on Friday for our annual tournament.  Students need to wear their tee-shirts and pack a lunch.

 

This Friday evening, our Byrd Eagle Chorus group will be performing at the Goochland High School for All County Chorus.  Chorus groups from Randolph, Goochland and Byrd Elementary will all be performing in the GHS auditorium beginning at 5:30 pm.  All chorus students are asked to be present in the auditorium by 5:15 pm, and seats will be reserved in the front of the auditorium for each chorus group.

 

Friday is also the GCPS Fine Arts Festival, so please stick around after the concert to see more  performances from the GHS band and Jazz band, a drama performance from the High School musical “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying”, and also a performance by the GHS dance troupe.  There will be visual artwork on display in the GHS Gymnasium from our talented BES students and students across Goochland County.  Come out and join us this Friday evening for an “artsy” evening of fun and fellowship!  Hope to see you there!

 

This is the last week to order your spring portrait package and school yearbooks.  Both orders are due by Friday.  You can purchase a yearbook with memories to last a life time by returning the order form that was sent home with students, or you can order online by visiting ybpay.lifetouch.com.  Our school’s order code is 10310617.

 

If you would like to sign your students up for STEM Camp this summer, then please take a look at the attached flyer or you can view information on our school website.GCPS STEM Camp Flyer

 

Thank you for reading, and we hope you have a great week!
