While you are enjoying your Spring Break, keep your eyes open for the perfect Hawaiian shirt. On Thursday, April 3rd we will be celebrating all of our amazing paras. They help to make our Bickel Family so special. April 3rd we will be celebrating A Day in PARAdise! Wear your favorite Hawaiian shirts to thank our Paras for all that they do.

We hope that your spring break is really shaping up. You still have all this week to relax. Here are some beautiful 2nd graders enjoying some time with Mrs. Higley.


Our fifth graders recently enjoyed some hands-on learning. You can see their concentration and their excitement in their faces as they experimented with chemical reactions. (Reminder: We are on Spring Break. School resumes March 31.)

Reminder: School is dismissed at 2:00 on Mondays.
The staff at Bickel did many THINGS to celebrate Read Across America Week. They read Dr. Seuss stories and symbolized them in the clothes that they wore each day. The game was to see if the students picked up on the staff all dressing the same. From Stars and Stripes, to crazy hats and wacky hair everyone had lots of fun. Don't forget to submit your child's reading minutes for the week to their teachers.






It’s that time again! ⏰ Don’t forget to spring forward—Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 9th! Set your clocks ahead one hour.🌞 #DaylightSavingTime #SpringForward
