Lake Party: Siblings

Dear Parents,

   I'm so happy to hear how excited everyone is about the lake party next week! I think it's going to be really great. I didn't mention in my earlier email about siblings. Normally, siblings are invited to BDS events, however, since this is just a 2nd grade event and water is involved, I'm asking parents not bring younger siblings. There will be a lot going on- tubing, boating, swimming, kayaking and much more. It will be easier to make sure all of the 2nd graders are receiving our full attention if no siblings are around. Thank you for understanding the need to keep safety a priority.
