First Day!

Dear Bemis Families,

Hope everyone has a great First Day of Full Day School Today!  

Bemis Teachers are wonderful and will make all the kids feel safe and comfortable.  I wanted to share this poem and a funny cartoon as I have all my kids at Bemis this year and a kindergartner starting this year :)

Enjoy the rest of the week!

Jeanette Tanafranca, 

Bemis PTO President

First Day of School

(Wendy Silva)

 

I wonder what you’re doing right now,

And if everyone is treating you kind.

I hope there is a special person,

A nice friend that you can find.

 

I wonder if the teacher knows

Just
 how special you are to me.

And if the brightness of your heart,

Is something she can see.

 

I wonder if you are thinking about
me,

And if you need a hug.


I already miss the sound of your voice,

And how you give my leg a tug.

 

I wonder if you could possibly understand,

How hard it is for me to let you grow.

On this day know that my heart breaks,

For this is the first step in letting my baby go.

 

Welcome Back!

Welcome Back Bemis Families!

Hope everyone had a wonderful summer! 

The PTO is excited and looking forward to another great year!
