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! 🎨✉️✨



This recognition is provided to celebrate schools that go above and beyond to support the unique needs of military-connected students and their families. We are proud to support our military students and families here in Santa Rosa County!

With deep gratitude, we extend our thanks to everyone who participated in the can drive. Your efforts are making a significant impact in feeding families right here in our community. We are thrilled to announce that Berryhill Elementary collected the most cans among all elementary and middle schools, with an impressive total of 1,764 cans! We are the reigning champs! 🏆
Thank you once again for your incredible support. Berryhill Elementary truly is the BEST! 💙 🐻💚

🎁 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! 🎄✨

Mark your calendars for a jolly day on Tuesday, November 4th! Order forms have been sent home, but don't worry if you missed them—we've included a copy just for you. Capture these magical moments that you'll cherish for years to come! 🎄📸✨

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. 💙🐻💚
