GRASP SUMMER SCHOOL
(Grand Rapids Academic Summer Programs) Are you looking for a
summer school opportunity for your
child? GRASP is an academic correspondence program in reading
and mathematics for grades K-8. It is a cost-efficient substitute
for traditional summer school. The program helps students retain
skills learned during the school year. We are offering this program
to Beagle students. Over the summer, your child completes materials
and sends them in for scoring. The lessons should take your child
approximately one hour per week to complete each weekly lesson.
Return forms and fees by April 14, 2014 All materials will be
sent home with the child
the last week of school

COUNSELORS CORNER ~ Sandy Husted~
On Tuesday, April 15th, Beagle Elementary will be
hosting a Bucket Fillers Assembly!
First-third graders are scheduled from 9:15-9:50. Forth-sixth
graders are scheduled from 10:00-10:35. After the assembly,
students will have the opportunity to participate in activities to
reinforce the message from the assembly: we all carry an invisible
bucket. This bucket contains our feelings. When our bucket is full,
we feel great; when its empty, we feel empty. A bucket filler is
someone who says or does nice things for other people. By doing
this, they are filling other peoples buckets and filling their own
bucket at the same time. On the other hand, a bucket dipper says or
does things to cause other people to feel bad. This simple, but
profound, philosophy applies to every aspect of life. I hope that
you all have a safe and enjoyable Spring Break!
FOOD BANK DONATIONS Thanks to everyone who donated items for the
Grand Ledge food bank last week. Ms. Hoesls classroom had the most
donations with a total of 140 items. Their classroom will receive
free popcorn on the next Popcorn Friday; which is scheduled for
Friday, April 18th.
