Summer Fun at Bull Run!

Career Day

Thank you to all of our Career Day presenters for partnering with us to help expose the students to the different career choices that are available to them in their future.  A great two days this week of hands-on learning and discovery!

Thank you, PTA, for helping us with our annual grounds beautification!  And, thank you to Ms. Cardosa and Ms. Obarowski for all of their hard work in our gardens.  They are looking so beautiful!  What a very fine looking school yard!

SAVE THE DATE: Family Literacy Night

Bull Run’s Family Literacy Night is coming up on June 16th …mark your calendar!  Join us for a fun evening on the Bull Run “Cruise Line” to celebrate reading and writing.  Your child will have an opportunity to share his/her writing. We’ll have storytellers reading their favorite children’s books, and you’ll have a chance to meet a local author and hear him talk about his writing process; all the while, being serenaded by our wonderful strings ensemble.  Students will get to choose a special book to start off their summer reading.  And to end the evening, they’ll be presented with a special summer journal to write about their exciting summer adventures all summer long!

You won’t want to miss this great school event!  We hope to see you there.  Remember to stop in the lobby to get your “passport” for the evening’s “tour.”  So exciting!!
