BC Cate students and staff have enjoyed many fun activities as we wrap up another great school year!
On May 13th B.C. Cate 1st and 2nd graders participated in career day! Students were introduced to professions such as a vineyard manager, nurse, police officer, fire fighter, sales, and a veterinarian. Students learned about each career and even got to try some hands-on activities!
BC Cate students attend a NED assembly!
On Friday May 9th, BC Cate first graders hosted a Mother's Day tea! Students welcomed their family members and served them muffins, lemonade, and tea. Students also gifted their family member with a flower and gifts they had prepared for them.
Let's work together and win the March Madness attendance challenge! Go Grizzlies!
On behalf of the staff and students of B.C. Cate, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Parent-Faculty Organization for your generous support in funding the recent purchase of the “Build a Bear” kits for our students. PFO was able to give 198 students a kit. Staff all chipped in on December 20th for Grizzly Day to help assemble the bears with the students.
Your thoughtful contribution brought so many smiles to our students' faces and warmed their hearts. It truly was a special moment.
Please know that your generosity does not go unnoticed, and we deeply appreciate the time and effort that the PFO invests in our students. Once again, thank you for your unwavering support and for helping us create a positive and enriching environment for our students.
Additionally, Pam Kelly made 200 cut out cookies and frosting for our little Grizzlies. Our B.C. Cate family is so thankful for your generosity.
To add more fun, we had Doug the magician perform to our students. They all had a blast!
It truly was an amazing day for everyone to come together!

I hope that you enjoy a well-deserved Spring Recess next week and we look forward to your return on Monday, April 29th.
Our last "Saturday Sports" will be held this weekend. Thank you to our staff and community helpers that made this program possible! I would like to explore offering this program again next year. If you have any feedback that you would like to share, reach out to me.
