Morning Announcements October 15, 2015

Please stand to say the pledge of Allegiance with your class

We are pleased to announce that BUSD is starting a Unified Sports Basketball Team in partnership with Special Olympics Northern California and the Brentwood Police Activities League (PAL). Unified Sports combines students with and without disabilities on sports teams and is dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experiences. Unified Sports joins students receiving special education services and their general education peers on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding. The sport we will be playing this season is basketball and you are invited to be part of the team! (10/14)

Wednesday, October 21st is our first Walk FROM School Wednesday of the year!

(10/20) October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. To bring awareness to this cause, we will have Pink Spirit Day on Friday, October 23rd.
