November 16, 2017 Barton Creek Elementary Blue Jay Bulletin MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL TIFFANY PHELPS BCE Families,
Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year. Family, fellowship, food, and football...does it get any better? There is so much to be thankful for. I know I've said this on several occasions, but it deserves to be repeated. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the BCE community. The support is humbling and I'm so fortunate to have a job that I look forward to every day. I mean, where else do you get to walk down the halls only to be greeted with smiles and hugs? And don't get me started on the phenomenal musicals! The Jamin' Jayz performance today had me on cuteness overload. This building is filled with exceptional children and extraordinary teachers.
On behalf of the entire Barton Creek Elementary staff, we wish you a relaxing, safe, and fun-filled Thanksgiving break! We are thankful for YOU!
