Dear Bates,

We look forward to hosting families to visit their child’s classroom for Bates in Bloom on Wednesday, May 8 from 8:45 – 9:15 am.  

I am also excited to share information about an upcoming educational experience for our students generously funded by the Bates PTO.  On Thursday and Friday the Bionic Project will visit Bates, leading interactive lessons about physical disabilities and inclusion.  Their program seeks to foster empathy through education and play.  I invite you to read more about the Bionic Project here.

Also next week we welcome incoming kindergarten families with our Kindergarten Orientation on Thursday, May 9 at 6:30 pm.  This is an evening for both new and returning parents and guardians to learn about the kindergarten year and Bates.  

Have a nice weekend!

Warmly,

Toni
