Subject:   8th grade updates

Hello and Happy New Year 8th grade parents!

Separately, we are starting to prepare for Promotion Week for our 8th graders.  If you are interested in being part of the planning committee please let us know by filling in this interest form. It’ll be a great way to get involved in making this a special week for your graduating middle schooler! Overview of promotion activities:

June 7(to be confirmed): 8th Grade dance @ the Burlingame Community Center

June 9: 8th Grade field trip to either Great America or Santa Cruz

June 10: Pizza, yearbook signing and promotion rundown

June 11: Promotion practice

June 12: 8th Grade Breakfast, Promotion practice and Promotion!  Last day of school.  

Lastly, as per the Yearbook teacher Ms. Bosnich, a lot of parents request too late to do a special message/Farewell for our 8th graders to include in the yearbook.  She isn’t seeing a lot from our grade this year compared to previous years and to let you know that the deadline is early April. Farewells are $50 for 1/8 of a page. (2/8 page =$100, and up etc.) Design them online, or attach photos and the script, and the yearbook staff will put them together. Attached is ab example.  HERE's the link.

As always, please email us at 8th-team@BIStrojans.com with any questions, comments, or to volunteer.

Warmly,

The 8th Grade Team
