National Fire Safety Week - October 5- 11
Your home should be a safe haven. But do you regularly check for home fire hazards? If not, there is the potential for danger. Fire departments responded to nearly 400,000 home fires in 2006. That’s why the theme of Fire Prevention Week 2008 is “It’s Fire Prevention Week: Prevent Home Fires!”
From October 5-11, 2008, fire safety advocates will spread the word to their communities that, with a little extra caution, preventing the leading causes of home fires – cooking, heating, electrical and smoking-materials – is within their power.

Cats Have Character
Bloomfield Elementary supports a comprehensive guidance program component entitled Cats Have Character. This program promotes 10 different character traits throughout the school year: Integrity, Responsibility, Self-Discipline, Citizenship, Respect, Perseverance, Compassion, Honesty, Trustworthiness, and Fairness. A Student/Parent and Staff Newsletter will be posted each month. These newsletters will be full of ideas to encourage our students to learn about and demonstrate character every day. Lessons and activities will be incorporated in the school day to reinforce each character trait. August is Integrity month. Integrity is shown by making choices that help you be the best you can be.
