5th grade groups made connections with each other to earn the cards to build the towers they designed together. @ProfKindred #beartavernpride

Day 1 in the books. Some scenes from today. Sunrise over BT, 1st students arrive on blacktop, 5th grade learning the responsibility that comes with lockers & a RARE empty lost & found table. #beartavernpride

Back to school shopping is in full effect

Just saw a student skating around the neighborhood. Stopped to ask me if I knew class assignments yet. Was rather disappointed to hear I had no insider information…. 3 weeks til school. #BearTavernPride

And with that, we close another chapter at Bear Tavern Elementary. To my now 6th graders and retiring friends & family, enjoy this and every moment. You will be missed. I wish you nothing but the best. #beartavernpride

What started at Ben Franklin with them together finishes tomorrow at @BearTavernES. 1st day K and 5th grade Promotion photos. Where does the time go? #BearTavernPride @jaybilly2.bsky.social @Mrs_Virtucio @ProfKindred

Thanks BT parents for a fantastic 4th grade end of year party! (I forgot to get a pic of Kona ice truck) #BearTavernPride @belf48 @Miss_Sommers @MrsEvansBT

When asked if I have a favorite student. I say “Yes, & 450+ are tied for 2nd place.” In 4 days I have to change my answer. 5th grade pool party photo of my favorite BT student ever. Gonna miss having you at my job when you’re at Middle school. ❤️ #BearTavernPride #ProudDad

That moment when you go to unlock the door for school and there’s a tree frog just hanging out on the window… 🐸 #BearTavernPride

Delayed opening leads to sledding breaks @beartavernpride

PSA- Spirit Day attire. Football NOT mandatory. (God knows us Giants fans haven’t had reason to don the colors lately) Hockey or baseball? Which will I choose…

Spotted on 95 just north of Phila today

A modest suggestion… even if us Giants fans only watch for Saquon 🏈 www.nj.com/education/20...

5th grade classes study what happens when you mix compounds. Then they are designing & building chemical reaction powered cars out of common household items. SCIENCE!🧪 @GabriellaG524 @ProfKindred #beartavernpride

Two views from tonight’s 5th grade winter concert. One in front of the stage, one behind the scenes. Great performances from everyone! #beartavernpride

Wanna hear from 2 principals with whom I have had the great fortune of working? Maybe hear about elementary schools in Titusville & Lawrence, NJ? Check out @CattaniTony Proud Principals Podcast episodes from @JayBilly2 & @cturnbull15 #beartavernpride open.spotify.com/show/5EBY9mQ...

5th grader: you’re so funny. You could be a comedian. Me: You’ve known me for years. You know I’m the silly guy. 5th grader: yeah but I think I’m starting to get your jokes. 😳 Well @cturnbull15.bsky.social I think they are just about ready for @Timberlane_HV

5th gr science. Are there “potions” you can use for real? Comparing which solution can best remove oxidation from old copper pennies. #beartavernpride @ProfKindred

Who wore it better? #beartavernpride

School day with snow #beartavernpride

Wishing you a happy and peaceful Yule.
