You should have heard how excited Bogert students were on Friday as we kicked off our Kids Heart Challenge with an amazing Learning the Ropes assembly! Students were inspired to lead active, healthy lifestyles and never give up. Even some of our students and staff got to show off their jump roping skills! We were VERY impressed!

📣 Attention students in grades 3, 4, and 5! Don't forget to sign up for the Kids Heart Challenge! Information is in the October Newsletter.
❤️ Let's get moving, make healthy choices, and make a difference together!
📸 Check out some highlights from our assembly in the photos below!

✨ Bogert School’s Week of Respect: Kindness Looks GOOD on Us! ✨

Last week, Bogert School celebrated Week of Respect, and our school counselors were absolute ROCKSTARS! 🌟

🪑 Mrs. Slacin visited our 2nd graders to teach them all about the Buddy Bench and how to navigate the special benches on our K–2 playground! Students learned how these benches can help everyone find a friend, make connections, and ensure no one feels left out.

🥪 Ms. Senger taught students about respectful behavior and helped bring everyone together through our Mix It Up Lunch for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders! Students had the chance to mix up their usual lunch groups, meet new friends, and build connections.

We are so lucky to have counselors who make learning about respect engaging, meaningful, and FUN! 💙 🐾

Tuesday was an exciting day to be a 3rd grader!

Our third graders had the opportunity to visit the historic Hopper-Goetschius House!

They stepped back in time as they explored the historic house and learned what life was like long ago. The students enjoyed hands-on activities, discovered interesting pieces of local history, and had a wonderful time learning outside of the classroom!

A big thank-you to everyone who helped make this field trip such a special experience!✨

On Friday, September 11th, Bogert School came together to reflect on the importance of community, resilience, and hope. Students in grades 4-5 read "This Very Tree", while our K–3 students enjoyed "Whose Hands Are These?".

We were honored to welcome local police officers and first responders to our special assembly. We were also thrilled to have two K-9 support dogs join us, Nash and Mocha! 🐾

Thank you to all of our community heroes for helping us create a meaningful day of reflection, connection, and hope. ❤️

Dear Bogert Parents,

Due to the wet conditions on the ground, we will be unable to use the field for parking. Once the main lots are full, personnel will direct parents to park behind Bogert. As a result, all students grades 3-5 will line up in the hallway outside of their classrooms.

Kind regards,

Ms. Jennifer Turi

Principal
