Boston Harbor PTA Kid’s Holiday Gift Bazaar It is time for the annual Boston Harbor’s Gift Bazaar! What is it? Gently used gifts, donated by YOU, displayed for each class to have a turn to shop for holiday gifts for their immediate family. Students purchase items for 25¢ each on December 17th. Please drop off donations of gently used items, gift bags, tape, tissue paper, and gift tags to the school lobby between now and the morning of Dec 17th (see attachment). Volunteers will also be needed on Friday, December 14th (4:30 pm start) for set-up and on Monday, December 17th for wrapping gifts, assisting students and clean up. If you are interested in volunteering and have gone through the district’s volunteer approval process, please contact Angela Harmeier at angharmeier@gmail.com or 425-503-5587.

You are all invited to the BHS Winter Concert on Tuesday, December 18th at 2:00. It will be performed by our Kindergarten – 5th grade students, as well as band and orchestra students.

No school. Enjoy the holidays!

The Lions Club will be here next Tuesday from 1:00-3:00 for Vision & Hearing screenings. We are looking for 2-3 volunteers to help with screenings or be a runner. Please let the office know if you can help. Thank you!

Please join us for this month's PTA meeting on Wednesday, January 9th @ 6:00 p.m.

You're also welcome to join us Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m. for our Pacific Science Center assembly.  We have workshops and exhibits all day long thanks to the generous support of our PTA.  We still need one adult in the morning and one in the afternoon on the 10th to hang out in the gym and monitor the exhibits as classes visit.  It's fun and easy!  If you have volunteer clearance through the district and can help, please email ewilson@osd.wednet.edu. 

We’re celebrating STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) January 9th-10th at Boston HarborElementary School!  Do you have a special STEAM-related skill, passion or vocation to share with BHES kids in the afternoon on January 9th? Can you plan an engaging 20-25 minute presentation with lots of visuals (and maybe even some hands-on items) about how you use STEAM in your life/work? Our assembly, workshops and evening event the following day have a math focus so we're particularly interested in the ways you use MATH in your everyday work. You would share your presentation three times with three groups of K-2 kids or three groups of 3-5 kids. Teachers stay with the students to help out. We also have a Signup Genius link with additional ways to help: https://bit.ly/2PQhZf7 Please let us know if you’re interested by Friday, December 7th!  We want to expose kids to some fun STEAM jobs and skills (with an emphasis on MATH!). Questions? Ready to join the fun? This was one of the favorite highlights of our activities last year so we're eager to do it again! Email Beth Wilson (ewilson@osd.wednet.edu). Looking for other ways to help?  We have a wish list for our upcoming STEAM Family Night activities, on January 10th.
