Shoutout to the BPG! Before break they treated staff to lunch, ran a hot cocoa station @ the Courtyard singAlong/story, and made Candy Grams for students. Help the BPG plan more fun in 2025! Join the meeting on 1/13 @ 2:30 in the library or online: meet.google.com/afy-dsdy-cfy
We had so much fun with our reading spirit week before winter break, and we cannot wait to continue the reading fun in the new year!
This Gingerbread Man visiting Byrd says, "Read, read as much as you can! Adventure starts with a book in hand!" We hope to see our Eagles turning in their reading program bookmarks at the Goochland Restaurant tomorrow for First Friday spirit day!
Next Friday, Jan. 3, is First Friday at the Goochland Restaurant! 🍴 Enjoy a meal from 7-3 & support Byrd Elementary. A perfect way to wrap up winter break! ❄️✨ This event happens every 1st Friday—mark your calendars! 🗓️ #SupportByrdEagles
Christine Fauver is a true community treasure! Not only does she run the Goochland Restaurant and is constantly working to support our community, but she also dedicates countless hours to volunteering at Byrd Elementary.
Christine has spent time reading to our Eagles, teaching them about Veterans Day, and even visited during Folktale Week dressed as the Snow Queen! This year, she’s going above and beyond again by sponsoring a fantastic reading program for Byrd Eagles AND the entire community!
Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Read 8 books.
2️⃣ Complete the bookmark attached to this post.
3️⃣ Bring your completed bookmark to Goochland Restaurant to get a FREE drink and treat!
🎉 BONUS: Your bookmark will be proudly displayed at the restaurant for all to see!
We can’t wait to see our Eagles’ bookmarks hanging up, celebrating their love of reading. Thank you, Christine, for inspiring our students and supporting literacy in our community! 🦅❤️ #CommunityHero #ReadAndReward #ByrdEagles
May your winter break days be merry and bright! Love, The Byrd Faculty and Staff!
