Bard Elementary PTA

Thank you!

The PTA board would like to thank all our families, teachers, and students for their continued support throughout the year. Our fundraisers have been very successful and allowed us to continue to provide incentives, prizes, and assemblies to our students. We have also been able to support student clubs like Math Olympiads and Batalla de los libros by purchasing t-shirts to represent their school at district and county events. We continue to support our teachers with classroom books and any materials needed to provide a fun, educational environment. We could not do it without all of our community members and Bard families- thank you!

What's Happening Here at Bard

October was all about Reading Celebrations

Thank you to Reading is Fundamental and Driscolls for helping PTA host an assembly and bring books to all our TK-2nd grade students. Every student who participated took home 3 brand new books to add to their home library!

Next up...Dr. Martin Alberto Gonzalez will be visiting with our 3rd-5th grade classes. PTA was able to purchase a new chapter book for every 3rd-5th grade student to take home to their home library and a few lucky students will win a copy of one of his published books- Boxnard or The Key to the City. Check out this local author's webpage to learn more! Dr. Martin Alberto Gonzalez

Ways PTA supports Bard students

Boxtales Assembly

This bilingual production explores the rich Hispanic folklore and mythology of Latin America. The stories include La Calavera from Mexico, and Paco and the Witch from Puerto Rico. The program also includes an Afro/Cuban Rhythm and Song that calls to “Alegua – the trickster of the crossroads”, from the Afro-Cuban tradition of Santeria.

Think, Stop, Act Assembly

This production focuses on emotions and how students can regulate their feelings in different situations. Students interacted with characters and explored different scenarios and how to handle "big feelings" like anger, anxiety, embarassment, and excitement.

Hueneme HS Mariachi Band

We were able to provide transportation to showcase the Hueneme High School Mariachi Band during the Dia de los Muertos Assembly in October. Many of these students were former Bard Bulldogs!

Duke's 70th Birthday

PTA purchased conchas for every student and staff member to enjoy while we celebrated Bard and Duke's 70th anniversary!

Wheel of Prizes

PTA purchases all the prizes that are available to pick on the wheel in the office. Students get selected by either showing good character or by completing a book review. 20 students get to spin the wheel every Friday.

Popsicles

PTA purchased the popsicles that are handed out to students at Principal's Recess. This once a month incentive is for students who have good attendance and show good character at school every day.

Books for the Classrooms

We used our scholastic dollars earned to buy 100s of books that went to all classrooms. We were very excited to be able to purchase many titles in Spanish to support our DLI program in TK-5th grade.

Red Ribbon Week

PTA purchases pencils for all students during Red Ribbon Week to remind everyone to make positive choices.

Student Organizations

PTA helps to support student organizations like Math Olympiads, Talent Show, and Batalla de los libros. Students were given a t-shirt for their hard work and to represent our school with pride at district and county events.
