Bismarck-Henning Elementary School

Good morning We are so excited to start day 143 Today is Tuesday April 12th-It is National Colorado Day, National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, National Licorice Day, National Only Child Day, and National Education and Sharing Day. Our Character Counts pillar for the month April is responsibility. Some great ways to be responsible is to take care of your supplies, clean up after yourself, make healthy choices, and always do your best Lunch today is French bread boat, sweet corn, pear cup, and milk Today’s fun fact is: Did you know that the average elementary school student needs between 9 and 11 hours of sleep every night? We often hear that people need a good 8 hours of sleep, but that’s really only for adults who are all done growing and developing. Not getting enough sleep obviously makes you more tired but can also make people cranky and clumsy. If you keep missing sleep, you will start having more trouble doing normal things throughout your day because your brain cannot concentrate on all the things your body needs. One of the biggest distractions that causes people to miss sleep is having constant access to the internet. We all at BHES are so happy to see everyone come to school each day. Myself and all the teachers care about you all and want to make every day as awesome as we can. We're here to help you have fun, to learn, and to grow. We're here to help you be safe, be healthy, and be happy.

Today was an excellent start to our state testing window! Just a few reminders: Attendance is super important so that we don't have to pull students out of instruction to do make-up tests. 3rd and 4th graders will test through next Monday. Don't forget to charge those Chromebooks!

Attention 3rd and 4th grade: State testing starts tomorrow. We are asking for a few things in order to make this a successful experience for our students and staff. Thank you, in advance, for all of your support! Students' attention and brain power benefit from a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast. Students also need to listen to portions of the test. We have headphones, but students tend to prefer to use their own. We will have a small snack and mint available for the students daily. Please send them with a water bottle. Thank you so much for your partnership in your child's education!
