Thanks to the families that brought their children out for the tethered balloon reward. The organizers, crew, and balloon pilots were sad the weather did not cooperate. There was a delay on setting up due to weather rolling through the region, but then wind tests and clearer skies showed we were good to go. Unfortunately the weather had other ideas and winds and rain became too strong to continue tethering. Stay tuned though… organizers are looking for ways to make this up to the students that earned this reward and Bruceton School. Thank you to University Toyota, Balloons Over Morgantown, and the balloon crews and pilots for caring about our beautiful school community. 💗
Today, Mrs. Kent’s kiddos learned about how to make cotton candy changing sugar crystals into strings. Then they made our own.

It's time for our annual fall Krispy Kreme donut fundraiser! The past couple years, we've been working to update and replace a lot of student classroom furniture such as tables, desks, chairs, etc. This fundraiser, in conjunction with our levy funding, will help us to continue that process and handle any other expenses. Students were given order forms in their homerooms and orders and money are due by Thursday, September 22nd.
Thanks to the Lions Club, the overall top seller in the school will get a $100 cash prize, 2nd place will get a $50 prize, and 3rd place will get a $25 prize. In addition, the homeroom that sells the most donuts in PK-2, 3-5, and middle school will receive a special treat.
