✨ Berryhill Elementary Holiday Fun! ✨ We are so excited here at Berryhill Elementary because our infamous elf Berry has officially returned! He’s been extra busy this week, and these are just a few of his magical “elf-capades.” The kids have absolutely loved walking in each morning to discover what Berry has been up to. The joy and laughter he brings makes this season even more special! 🎄🧝‍♂️✨

Congratulations to Mrs. Whitworth's Class! 🎉

One of our fantastic CBSA classes of KG-1st graders participated in an exciting alphabet exchange with schools nationwide. Mrs. Whitworth's class painted 26 vibrant J's for Jaguar and sent 25 of them to different schools across the country. In return, each school crafted a unique letter and sent it to them. Along with each letter, they received a special note sharing information about its origin. Here's a snapshot of their completed board!

Their class had a blast learning letters this way—so much fun and creativity! Great job, Mrs. Whitworth's class! 🎨✉️✨

Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude this season! 🍁✨ Thanks to the incredible generosity of Food Raising Friends, our amazing parents, and our caring community members, every Berryhill family in need received food to carry them through the Thanksgiving break. Woodbine Church also stepped in to ensure our families enjoy a warm, delicious Thanksgiving meal. We are also grateful to the Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office for their help with delivering the food to our school. Their support and service helped make this effort even more meaningful. 🚓💛 In a season centered around giving and gratitude, you have reminded us what true community looks like. Because of your kindness, many homes will be filled with comfort, joy, and the spirit of Thanksgiving. Thank you to everyone who helped make this season brighter for our families. 🧡🦃🍂

🎁 Help Us Spread Holiday Cheer! 🎁

As the holidays approach, our care pantry could use some extra supplies. If you're able to contribute any of the following items, it would be greatly appreciated. You can drop them off at the front office:

Shampoo
Conditioner
Men’s Body Wash
Kid’s Body Wash
Antiperspirant/Deodorant
Laundry Detergent Sheets or Pods
Girl’s Underwear (Size 14/16) or Women’s Size Small
Dishwashing Liquid

Additionally, if you’d like to sponsor a Berryhill Elementary family or child for Christmas, please contact Trish Bull at extension 4118. We have several families in need this year.

As a sponsor, we ask that you provide each student with at least one outfit (a shirt, pants, and a pair of shoes) and two items from the toy ideas list. Please wrap these gifts and place them in a separate large black trash bag with the student’s number clearly marked on the outside. If you prefer, we can wrap them for you. This process helps us ensure that each gift reaches the right family, as we will match the numbers to the names.

Thank you for making this season brighter! 🎄✨

ATTENTION BERRYHILL FAMILIES AFFECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

As the federal government shutdown continues, we understand that some families may be facing temporary loss of income. If your household is experiencing a change in income, your student may qualify for free or reduced-price school meals.

Families are encouraged to complete a meal benefits application at myschoolapps.com. The application is based on your household’s current situation at the time you submit it.

Please remember:
You may apply at any time during the school year if your income changes—this includes during a furlough.
Once a student is approved, meal benefits remain in place for the entire school year.
If your situation improves later and you no longer need the benefit, you are encouraged (but not required) to notify Santa Rosa County Food Service.

To complete the application, visit: myschoolapps.com

We are here for our Berryhill families. 💙🐻💚
