What's Happening:

On Friday, February 12th we held our BIS Spotlight to acknowledge students who are striving for excellence throughout school.

The TNT Basketball Game was held on Friday with the teachers barely pulling out a victory. Congratulations to all the student who took part in the game, and to those who came to watch. Together we raised over $1,000 dollars for charity.

A reminder, we offer both before and after school help to students.  If your son or daughter needs help with homework, or reinforcement in math or language arts please call the office so we show you all we have to offer.

We were pleased to have volunteers who were interested in being on our Technology Committee from our last newsletter.   However, we quickly realized we forgot a spot for you to add your name to the list.  We would love to have as many people as we can join this committee.

Community Corner:

The Byram Township Annual Tricky Tray is March 12^th. This is our biggest fundraiser.  Last year we raised about $18,000!  We have already given it all back to the Byram Schools.  We donated $10,000 to the new Lakes playground, purchased STEAM materials for the lab, purchased an entrepreneurship program for the 5^th grade, funded an equine therapy program, donated to help support the CAPS Bullying Prevention Program at the Lakes School, purchased listening centers for the kindergarten classes, a sound system for a kindergarten classroom, and funded many other programs to support innovation and excellence in the Byram Schools.
