Have you heard of the Annual Parade of Pubs in Rochester? A tradition that has been carried on for over 50 years! Lucky for our Bamber Crew they will be serenaded by a professional bagpiper on their way into school on Monday morning. If your student doesn't ride the bus, feel free to park your car and walk to the back door. If you don't have time to stop, roll down your windows in the drop off lane and let your ears take in the Irish tradition as you pull through.
Just look at this awesome crew! Bamber staff used today to talk about what it means to be a Bamber Beaver and guess what!?! If you're a Bamber Beaver you're the luckiest kid in Rochester! We love helping each and every beaver unwrap their unique gifts and talents, and EVERY beaver has special and unique gifts and talents!
This weeks broadcast is out for your viewing pleasure! Watch the broadcast with your little beaver and ask them what they are most excited about this week. https://youtu.be/hu5nHyRE_Eg
