In keeping with our theme "Camp Suvivor", we focused on habitats! Habitats are necessary for survival whether it is humans or animals. Students learned about different animal habitats such as the rain-forest, deserts, and the artic.   Many thanks to everyone who helped our teams reach Global Finals. We made new friends from all over the world... a girl from Maryland, a boy from Singapore, a group from Australia... Our world and our STEAM knowledge grew exponentially this week, watching other teams and trying new things. Just before we left, BRCVPA Destination Imagination was honored in the Louisiana Senate by Senate Resolution 251, authored by Senator Claitor. The resolution recognizes the creativity, critical thinking, team building, problem solving, risk taking, project management, and perseverance instilled in students through DI. Many thanks to Lenore Heavey, parent of Clare A., who was inspired by our DI teams. We are indeed honored and grateful for the recognition, and we are already planning for next year!

Saturday, 4 of our BRCVPA students competed in BREC's Rocketkidz Rookies Triathlon at Liberty Lagoon. The Rocketkidz Rookies Triathlon has 3 divisions: 3-4 year olds, 5-6 year olds, and 7-10 year-olds. Wesley H., Remie S., Raylan M., and Cade G. made BRCVPA proud as they swam, biked, and ran their way across the finish line! The Piatkiewicz family came out to support the race as well, and their schoolmates loved having more fans in the crowd. The mission of RocketKidz Foundation is to create and sustain active, fit, and healthy children, families, and communities through programming, advocacy, and education. For more information, visit their website. It was great seeing our BRCVPA family this Saturday. We'd love to have even more students participate next year! What are you up to this summer? Be sure to send pictures to chartley@ebrschools.org, so we can stay in contact with our BRCVPA family's summer fun!  We sent summer work packets home with report cards to keep you informed, and to assist you in preparing your kids for the 2018-2019 school year. The packets contain beginning-of-the-year expectations for each grade level.
There is also a fun summer art challenge created by Ms. Gautreau. If you participate, please email us pictures so we can post them on the blog! We encourage every child to complete the summer reading program at their local library. Students who bring in the certificate at the beginning of the school year will receive a free dress pass! |
