Shasta Reads 2025~ 10/24
First 5 Shasta and Reach Higher Shasta work together to coordinate Shasta Reads, providing the book and other resources for over 150 readings at free public story times in classrooms, parks, and child care centers in the community. Thank you Mrs. Churney for organizing this wonderful traditional event for BES!
HW Club is BACK this week!
Monday~
We will have a special session of Talking Circles on Monday in recognition of Indigenous Peoples' Day!
Healthy Snacks~
We’ve noticed more students arriving to school with full size bags of chips, candy, and cookies — sometimes enough for 10–15 servings! While a treat now and then is fine, starting the day with high-sugar or high-salt snacks can make it harder for kids to focus and feel their best in class.
We kindly ask that you help us encourage healthy snack habits by sending items like fruit, cheese sticks, whole grain crackers, or yogurt when possible. Together, we can make sure students have the energy they need to learn, play, and grow.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep our kids healthy and ready to succeed!
Thank You!

Every Child Matters Day, also known as Orange Shirt Day, is observed on September 30 to honor Indigenous children who were taken from their families and forced to attend residential and boarding schools, many of whom suffered neglect, abuse, and cultural erasure, and thousands never returned home. The phrase “Every Child Matters” serves as a commitment to remember those children, support survivors, and emphasize the rights and dignity of every Indigenous child.
Thank you Renee Gemmill and Irvin Jim for coming and sharing about Every Child Matters Day and sharing a beautiful song with Mr. Moua's class.
