Dear Bates Families,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This week brought a lot of excitement as demolition and construction work began on both our front and back playgrounds.  Students were fascinated watching the crews in action.  Below are some photos of the progress so far.  I look forward to sharing more updates as our new playgrounds take shape.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Next week we will cheer for our students as they take part in the Bates Mini-Marathon.  We encourage families to join in the excitement.  To help the event run smoothly, we kindly ask that families avoid parking in front of the school or in the front circle.  Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I hope everyone has a restful weekend.  To our families celebrating, we wish you a very Happy Passover!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Warmly,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
