Hey Birney Bees...This is OUR page. See Ms. Sims if you have an idea for this page.
See Ms. Amanda if you have an idea for The Buzz. The Buzz needs to hear from you! If you have an idea for a short article in the Birney Buzz, write it out and send it to Ms. Amanda, the editor, at [email protected] OR drop it off at the office.
The Birney Buzz - For Kids
TRADITIONAL SCHOOL CALENDAR Can't learn if you're not here. And...the 
Limo List is back!!!!!!!!!
Every week before a Saturday School we run a report to see who has perfect attendance (0 absences, 0 tardies). Those names get added to the limo list. Anyone whos name is not on the list has an absence or a tardy to clear. Absences and tardies get cleared at Saturday School from 9-1.
Exceptions: religious holiday
Your parent can check with Ms. Amanda just in case.
If your name is still on the Limo List at the end of May, you will quality to go get ice-cream in a limousine! Pretty cool. Huh?

What is the IB Learner Golden Pencil all about?
Each of the students listed weekly at IB Learners of the Week have demonstrated at least one of the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile traits. For example, in Mr. Schwarz class, Darius was recognized for turning something in that was left on the playground, or being principled. Each week, the IB Learner of the Week receives a golden IB Learner Pencil and a mention in The Buzz.

THE CONSCIOUS KID - AAPI BOOK LIST
These lists feature books in our collection. They are unique, reviewed and award-winning titles. Enjoy these hand-picked and conciously curated collections. We aim to be principled, open-minded, knowledgeable, caring, courageous, balanced, reflective, thinkers, inquirers and communicators. We value peace and all of our Birney Bees and families at Birney Elementary. While our collection is only a snapshot of the many identities, cultures, races, and ethnicities celebrated and represented here at Birney Elementary, we hope these virtual libraries help us to learn more and increase our understanding about who we are and how we express ourselves.
