Welcome to Bement!


On behalf of the Bement School and the Bement Parents Association (PA), I would like to extend a warm welcome to students and their families. I hope that you feeling are feeling ready for an exciting year at Bement. 

 

The primary objective of the Bement Parents’ Association is to continue to grow Bement’s sense of friendship and community.  All parents are members of the PA.  Yes, that means YOU!  The PA is the heart of parent involvement at Bement. Our school has an extraordinary history and that history includes hundreds of parents, just like you, whose time, energy and commitment has helped our school flourish. Not only do our children benefit from your involvement, but you will find satisfaction in getting to know the people who teach, feed, guide and treasure our children.   And it is a fun way to get to know the other parents.

 

We have many wonderful events planned for this year. These events will provide you the opportunity to get involved!   We hope to continue with many of our favorite events, as well as exploring some new and exciting ways to foster connections for parents and students alike.   You can find more information about these events and how you can be involved on the weekly Look Ahead.  This year we will be opening ALL PA meetings to the parent community. Please come, hear from other parents and bring your ideas and energy.  This is a group effort and the more parents that are involved, the more fun will be had and the stronger our community will be. 

 

Feel free to contact any of the officers or class representatives if you have any questions about the Parents Association.  We are all here to strengthen our connections and make our community a warm and welcoming place for students and parents alike.  Thank you, in advance, for your time, participation, and dedication to our wonderful school.  I look forward to an amazing year together.

 

 

Warmest Regards,
