Family and Friends of RCPS - BGS has been working toward a goal of bringing 600 boxtops to school per class from January to May. Every class that meets their goal gets to have a popcorn/movie party the last week of school! As the deadline nears closer, there are some classes that could really use some help! If you have any BoxTops around, please consider sending them to school with the student(s) of your choice, or you can bring them into the office to me and I can apply them to the class of your choice! Thank you in advance for your help!

NEW SOCIAL STUDIES STANDARDS
What do you think our students should know about social studies? The Nebraska Department of Education has released a draft of the Nebraska Social Studies Standards and would love to hear from you! The standards provide the framework for what students are expected to know about social studies, and your feedback will help make improvements to the standards before they are adopted. The survey should take less than ten minutes to complete for each grade level selected. To complete the survey, use this link:
