Good Day Bobcat Family,

I just wanted to share that we had a successful testing window and I’d also like to thank Ms.
Kyle for working so diligently on the details of planning our testing.

I am also grateful to our PTA for the most recent event – Mother/Son Kickball. We had such a
beautiful day and all seem to have a wonderful time. I am a little sore but enjoyed my time
with the kids and parents.

I’d like to also thank our outgoing SGC members who have serve so faithfully to make SBCE
a place of excellence. Thanks to Warren Hutmacher, Doug Markott, Amy Rice, Gina Medford
and Lauren Dickey.

As we move towards the end of the year, please offer a gentle reminder that even adults get
excited for the summer break; however, it is so important that we continue to make good
choices and follow the R’s of our discipline system. WE CAN DO IT
