About the Author:
Jenny M. Iverstine is a native of Baton Rouge and now resides in Denver, Colorado with her family and red standard poodle, Bleu.  While enjoying all the outdoor sports of the West, she also loves rollerblading, cooking anything with rice and making paper-cut cards.  
Circles and Scissors is Jenny's first book to publish. She wrote and illustrated the book as well as designed the entire concept of Circles and Scissors Handwashing over a period of 4 years.  After teaching the Circles and Scissors curriculum to over 20,000 students in the classroom and on-line, she created the Circles and Scissors book as a condensed version of the method for parents and teachers to use as an educational resource. Circles + Scissors is being taught in 32 states across the US and 5 countries. Jenny’s goal is one million pairs of clean hands! 

​Out of an abundance of caution, the decision has been made to call an early dismissal for all students on March 17, 2021. Students will be dismissed from school two hours ahead of their scheduled release time. All bus routes and transportation will run according to the early release schedule. The East Baton Rouge Parish School System will begin early dismissal at 11:30 a.m. for middle and high school students and 12:45 p.m. for elementary students. All after school enrichment activities and athletic events will be cancelled/postposed.  Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to make the best decisions possible under these unpredictable circumstances. Stay tuned to local news outlets, ebrschools.org, and the BRCVPA blog for more information. 

Don't forget to show off your St. Patrick's Day spirit by wearing your GREEN BRCVPA shirt tomorrow and some fabulous green flair and accessories!!

Last week in 4th grade science, students used problem solving skills to transfer energy in a closed circuit. It's so exciting to see students working to create solutions to problems, and developing those real life skills! Great job, fourth graders!

We are sending a great big THANK YOU to the Norsworthy family for setting up this delightful selection of popcorn for National Popcorn Day! The different flavors of popcorn were enjoyed by all and greatly appreciated. Thank you again!!
