Didn&#8217;t expect that, huh?! \ud83d\ude42 This year the district will not be trying to connect with schools virtually for the 10-15 second welcome back videos (think connectivity issues from years past) and instead are asking each site to film a video by mid-June that can be shown during the Welcome Back. With your superior past performances, Becca Burda asked if we would be game to record ours early as an example for other schools. \ud83d\ude42 So, here&#8217;s the scoop-on <strong>Friday @ 2:30 we&#8217;ll meet in the Media Center,<\/strong> go over some quick directions and film our video. Please wear your staff tie die shirt, bring sunglasses, and wear or bring something that is summer-like (a hat, Hawaiian shirt) .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staff Room Tidy Team: <strong>1st Grade Team<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next Week is a<strong>n A week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/files\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-05-at-10.21.33-AM-1024x364.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/files\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-05-at-10.21.33-AM-1024x364.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/files\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-05-at-10.21.33-AM-300x107.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/files\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-05-at-10.21.33-AM-768x273.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/files\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-05-at-10.21.33-AM.png 1316w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Volunteer Appreciation Week!
