elding School has continued the tradition of fun family events, even during the era of COVID, by hosting two extraordinary (virtual) family events: a potluck and a family game night. The January virtual potluck featured a sampler of four international soups and various bread. YUM! We also learned about family soup and chili favorites. In February, parents hosted a Love and Loteria (and tacos) game night. Families pre-ordered dinners from CTA Taco to eat at home and then logged into a virtual family game night featuring Loteria, a traditional game similar to Bingo.
What We Love In February, Belding held a Valentine’s themed virtual dance show that all families watched together. The show was titled “What We Love.” Grades K-6 each learned a dance to a song with the word “love” in the title. The dances were recorded at an earlier time during dance class and then edited for the final dance show. To add a unique flair to the show, students submitted videos and pictures sharing things they loved the most. All of the performances brought a feeling of love and joy to all.
See what Belding Elementary has to offer your child! Each month Principal Heather Yutzy offers virtual school tours for prospective parents. School tours are an excellent opportunity to learn more about Belding school and the community. Upcoming tour begin at 8 a.m. Check out the Belding website: beldingelementary.com for more information on upcoming dates and how to join the virtual tour!
