Principal’s Message

Dear Bubb Families,

Our teachers have diligently prepared report cards, and they will be released on Friday by 4:00pm. Please connect with teachers about ways to support home, and use Clever to access some wonderful educational applications, including iReady math lessons. We are proud of our Bubb Cubs and their hard work!

Saturday, March 1 was the first day of Women’s History Month. Additionally, this Saturday, March 8 is International’s Women’s Day. The United Nations in 1977 assigned this date to recognize women’s achievements. Our Bubb Cubs will have a “Lunch and Learn” on Tuesday March 18 with guest speakers from our community, including Trustee Conley, Officer Leopold, Sergeant Powell, and Fire Marshall Sandhal. We look forward to hearing their stories.

Here is a reminder of some upcoming events. We have our Bubb Talent Show next Friday at 6:30pm in the MUR. We know the performances will knock our socks off! We also have our PTA’s Diversity Night on Thursday, March 20. Carducci will be at our next General PTA Meeting, on Tuesday March 25 at 6:00pm to discuss Outdoor Learning Plans. And, remember, Sunday is Daylight Savings and we move our clocks one hour forward.

In Community,

Principal Jung

Art Show Volunteers

Ms Jasmine, our wonderful art teacher, is organizing the annual Bubb Art Show which will be held during the Spring Open House in the Bubb MUR on 3/27.

She is looking for volunteers to help set it up. One of the tasks includes labeling student's artwork. which can be done at school, or picked up from the office and done at home at your convenience then returned to school once completed.

She will also need help in hanging the artwork in the MUR in the days before the art show and taking the art down after the show.

There are many shifts and opportunities available for you to consider to fit in your busy schedules. It's a great way to build community, getting to know other Bubb parents, and hanging out with parents you already know!
