Meet Our New Owls

Bear Creek is also thankful for the impact made by its faithful volunteers. From the Trustees to Parent Reps, PTF and Booster Board members and event helpers; from Mentors and Room Parents to Art Docents; and all those who chaperoned a field trip, baked treats, listened to poem and verse recitations, served hamburgers in the Hungry Bear, translated materials, organized drama costumes or sheet music, staffed the Grizzly Gear Shop, supported a team or club, helped in a classroom, decorated the campuses for Christmas, served on a committee, connected with prospective families, or worked behind the scenes to make an event or project possible, thank you! We truly could not accomplish our mission without the thousands of hours and incredible gifts and talents you share with our students. You are the heart of our community.

The generosity of our community blessed each student, faculty, and staff member at Bear Creek in profound ways, and we are deeply grateful. We look forward to partnering with you again, in traditional as well as creative new ways, in the coming school year.

A GIFT FOR THE AGES

Gifts such as bequests or trusts are meaningful ways to leave a legacy while helping to educate future generations of Bear Creek students, preparing them to engage the world with wisdom, compassion, and courage. If you have already made a provision for The Bear Creek School in your will or estate plan, please let us know so we may say thank you and recognize your generosity.

MEET OUR NEW OWLS

To enhance remote and in-person synchronous learning, Bear Creek has invested in a Meeting Owls camera system for each classroom. The Owl system integrates students learning remotely with those in the physical classroom by projecting images of remote participants on the wall and by streaming in real time the sounds and visual activity in the classroom to students at home. Controlled by the teacher from a laptop, Owls help to build solidarity and interconnection among class members and provide an integrated learning experience for all of our students while maintaining privacy in a secure online environment. Like many of the other technology investments of the past six months that enabled remote learning, purchase of the Owl system was made possible thanks to our community’s generous donations to the Annual Fund.
