Dear Bowen Community,

 This is to let you know that Diana Guzzi delivered a baby boy on Tuesday morning, April 3.  We are happy to report that Diana and the baby are doing well.  As you know, the baby is very premature, so he is at Children’s Hospital under their expert care.  Diana and her husband Eddie are able to spend a great deal of time with the baby.  Diana is feeling well, and she is upbeat and positive when we talk with her.  I know that you join us in wishing Diana and her family well and in sending good thoughts and wishes their way.  We will give you updates as we receive them.  Thank you for your support. 

 Cynthia Bencal

Interim Principal

Please submit all prizes for this year’s spring raffle by next Monday, April 9th.  Even if you do not have the actual prize, but would like to donate something, email Maria Arvelo, mbarvelo@gmail.com.

Spring Raffle is one of our biggest fundraisers.  We need lots of prizes to raise lots of money, especially since we did not hold a winter fundraiser this year.   Thanks for your continued support of the PTO.
