Dear PWS Families,
What a fantastic five day week we had. On Monday, we were in a third grade classroom and they were creating model inventions. The idea was to create an invention that helped solve a problem. The students came up with some great inventions including: an item that picks up toys, an item that adds steps to your fitbit, a food/water dispenser for a pet, and an organizer for pens, pencils and crayons.
We want to thank the many fourth grade students who submitted a drawing for our yearbook covers. The drawings were fantastic and the decision was not easy. However, congratulations go to Siddhant Jadav for designing our front cover and Navya Rai for designing the back cover. Congratulations to them and all the fourth graders who submitted a picture.
Last Night, we had the honor of attending a wonderful play performed by Mrs. Stallone’s second grade class. The students did a wonderful job in their many parts of the story The Mitten by Jan Brett. It was great to see the students perform and the many parents and family who came out in support of the performance.

Family Fun Night
Dear Families,
We hope you have marked your calendars for our Family Fun Night (FFN) which will be held February 15, 2017! Planning for our fun filled night is "STEAM-ing" along. Our student-designed t-shirts have become a tradition! The students love having an investment in the night and seeing their work worn by their peers and PWS families. To help offset the cost of the t-shirts this year, we welcome the financial support from businesses/corporation affiliated with PWS families. In turn, we would love to advertise your company's name on the back of the student designed shirts. Please click HERE to learn more. Stayed tuned for more FFN info!!!

Ecosmith Recycle Bins for Destination Imagination
Did you know that every school in the district has an Ecosmith Recycle Bin? This is a great way to donate/recycle old clothes, while helping raise funds for our teams who advance to Global Finals each year. You can put any kind of fabrics in these bins, towels and stuffed animals too. Ripped shirts and pants with holes are fine, as well as well worn shoes. Bedford DI greatly appreciates your continued participation in this program.
