Letter from the Headmaster

很难相信，我们已经进入学年的最后阶段了. This school year is quickly approaching its end, 我们的最后几周将会在繁忙的荣誉课程安排中飞逝而过, end-of-year celebrations, and graduation. 所有预定的活动都在英航网站日历上. Be sure to check it often! 我们期待在这些特别的活动中见到大家.

As we begin to close out one year, we start to look toward next year with our rising 6th and 9th grade orientations that will be held on May 4. Look for more information in your email! The rising Pre-K orientation will be on May 11. In our meetings, we will share information tips to prepare all these groups for the next level!

The Class of 2023 will be the largest graduating class in the history of BA with 53 students. We hope that you can join us at one of the many celebration opportunities – Senior Send Off, Baccalaureate, Alumni Breakfast, and graduation. We are proud of our seniors!

我们的建设和改造工程正在进行中，进展顺利! Students and staff have made a few adjustments to their routine and the flow of foot traffic after returning from Spring Break. 这是一个令人兴奋的时刻，在BA，看着建筑每天的变化. We will be sending out information before each event if we need to adjust access to events in May. 请务必阅读电子邮件并密切关注标牌.

我要感谢您选择澳门银河来教育您的学生, and we wish a restful, rejuvenating summer full of family, friends, and fun!

我们四岁的孩子一直在“跳进春天”!” They have so many great activities going on each week, and they are soaking up lots of learning!

They celebrated St. 派翠克节用很多绿色和寻找一些鬼鬼祟祟的小妖精. 春天是一个有趣的季节，小鸡孵化，看着蝌蚪变成青蛙. 每个班都喜欢开复活节派对，找彩蛋.

他们每天在大小组、小组、中心时间和课间继续学习. 这是充满乐趣、友谊、成长和学习的神奇一年. They are heading to kindergarten soon!

Fifth graders at BA have been hard at work this spring to publish their very own book entitled “This Is Us.书中有一首传记诗和每位学生的全彩自画像. During the month of February, the students learned how to write biography poems, and Mrs. 诺斯在美术课上帮助学生画插图. 最后的润色是在三月份完成的, 然后这本书被送到学生图书馆出版. 我们为这些五年级学生成为出版作家感到骄傲!

Nurse’s Notes

Heather Dabbs, RN, BSN

Wow! 又一个成功的学年即将被载入史册! My family and I are looking forward to summer, just as many of you and your children are.

Our spring health lessons focused on wellness. In our 3^rd-5^th grades, we talked about taking care of ourselves, physically and mentally, especially during standardized testing time. In our K-2^nd grade lessons, we talked about screen time. The students were given a Summer Break Screen Time Checklist with suggestions to get them off their screens and into other activities this summer. I hope parents and other caregivers will use them with our students this summer to keep them active. 今年夏天，澳门银河也提供了一些非常棒的夏令营!

如果你有一个初中生或初中生, please make sure to check on immunizations as you have health physicals or general physicals completed. 参加Bulloch Academy必须进行最新的免疫接种. 当我们夏天离开时，这里有一些关于阳光安全的提醒. Protect your skin from UV rays from the sun and from artificial sources like tanning beds and sunlamps. Always report skin changes to your doctor. While enjoying the benefits of the outdoors, 人们可以采取几种形式的防晒措施:待在阴凉处, wearing protective clothing, and applying and reapplying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 or higher.

So as you take off to the beaches, to outdoor sports practices, VBS, 以及你计划在阳光下的任何其他时间, 照顾好你的皮肤，并教导你的学生照顾好他/她的皮肤. 有一个安全而美好的暑假充满阳光，乐趣和防晒!

From the Counselor’s Couch

Ashley Hand, Lower School Counselor

Summer is almost here!! 我知道有些老师甚至在他们的课堂上进行倒计时, and almost every student that I ask knows how many days are left until we get out for break! 😀我喜欢听你为孩子们这个夏天计划了什么, I’ve heard cruises, going to the beach, summer camps, and so much more!

我们在学校还有很多值得兴奋的事情要做!! We have field trips and honors day left to enjoy!! Whooo hoooo!

您的孩子们今年都很努力，学到了很多东西! 我和三到五年级的学生一起研究了一些CTP-5测试策略, some of which included some relaxation techniques……they even let me do some meditation with them! 在k -2年级，我们完成了“享受旅程”的能量巴士规则。. They shared with me all the exciting things they enjoy doing in their spare time that help them enjoy this ride through life.

在我们即将结束这一年的时候，能和你们每一个孩子一起工作是我的荣幸! I hope you all have a great summer!!!

Athletics

Kevin Nix, Athletic Director

Spring has sprung!

At Bulloch Academy, spring sports is like a freight train that comes in fast and furious and sometimes it seems like rainouts and rescheduling and transportation and recruiting officials and hosting events on campus just might DO US IN. 但就在你准备举手投降的时候, we watch individuals and teams conquer the obstacles and embrace the struggles and compete with their whole heart and we remember our WHY.

What have we witnessed this spring:

我们男孩的高尔夫球队赢得了他们19年来的第一个地区冠军.
Our varsity baseball team is 19-4 and has claimed their first region title since 1991 and as it now stands they will host in the first round of state.
Our boys and girls tennis teams qualified for state and the boys are region champs for the first time in 17 years. Our girls were runner-up.
我们的女子田径队又获得了地区冠军，而男子田径队获得了亚军.
我们的男子足球队将主办一场州足球队的首轮比赛, 如果女生排名上升一位，她们也将成为主持人.

Our middle school programs are also making incredible strides and should impact our varsity programs in a meaningful way when those athletes matriculate to high school.

这个春天给我们留下了许多特别的回忆，也为我们的成长奠定了坚实的基础. Our student-athletes have exhibited confidence, character, poise, 他们是谦卑的，他们是有决心的, teamwork, and mental toughness. 这是一件值得体验和享受的伟大的事情，我们还没有结束!

Join us in celebrating our Varsity athletes on May 16th from 6pm-8pm at First Baptist Church- Fellowship Hall! We will be recognizing the wrestling, archery, tennis, baseball, soccer, basketball, track, and golf teams. Each athlete may bring up to two guests. Dinner will be provided for athletes and coaches, 出席的家长需要额外购买门票. 如果你是一个单独来的运动员，我们仍然需要你 fill out this form.

很难相信2022-2023学年即将结束! 在接下来的几个星期里，有许多令人兴奋的事件值得期待, including Honor’s Programs, end-of-year parties, and other exciting events. 对于所有年龄段的学生来说，夏天都是学习机会的好时机. As a reminder, 初二至八年级的学生有一项暑期数学作业, 即将升入5年级至12年级的学生有暑期阅读作业, 所有的AP学生也会有暑期作业. These assignments will be posted on the Bulloch Academy website towards the end of May and are due on the first day of school unless stated otherwise in their packet of materials.

我们很高兴能在一所经过全面翻新的中学开始2023-2024学年 & high school building! With the upcoming construction plans, please remember that all high school students will be virtual during the week of May 15-19, 在5月22日至24日这周的期末考试中，他们用项目来代替. Teachers will communicate their exact plans and expectations prior to students leaving school for their virtual work.

Middle school students have the option of attending school May 15-24 in person or virtual, 但父母可能只选择一种选择，而不是两者兼而有之. In-person 5月15日至24日的学习将在校园的另一个地方进行, and students must attend in person each day. Virtual students 必须在5月15日至24日每天登录才能获得上课学分. 老师会给出具体的说明，告诉学生每天如何登录. Virtual students MUST 每天查看他们的Bulloch Academy电子邮件. If you have not already done so, please make your choice by the end of the day today (April 28th) by clicking on the link here.

We hope everyone has a great summer and look forward to starting a new school year on August 14, 2023!

Facilities

Joie Roach, Director of Finance and Operations

Big things are happening at Bulloch Academy! 随着新外墙的升起，我们的高中翻修工作正在全面展开. Pope Construction has been on campus since Friday, March 31st and are working continuously. Our teachers and students are working hard on packing and moving all items into the Howard Arena every spare minute they have while also studying for year-end tests. On May 13th, the interior walls will be coming down and all High School students will be virtual learning. 我们把中学的教室搬到了校园各处，以便进行面对面的学习. 当我们8月份返校时，我们的高中将会有一个干净整洁的新面貌. With construction this summer the main front doors of the Cornerstone building will be the only entrance to the school. We will continue with summer elementary camps and upper school summer practice and workouts. Please be aware that construction can cause last-minute changes to how you enter and exit the buildings to get to your events. Please check emails daily for any updates. Thank you all for being flexible and patient while we strive to improve our academic facilities.

Bulloch Academy has a drop box located to the left of the Cornerstone Front Main double doors that can be used after hours.
