Dear Bluebird Families,

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful winter and holiday break. As we start 2025, I’m excited to share a few important updates and reminders with you:

  • First Day Back: Students will return to school on Tuesday, January 7, 2025. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back and start the second semester together!

  • Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day: There will be no school on Monday, January 20, 2025, as we celebrate Dr. King’s legacy of equality, kindness, and service.

  • Attendance Matters:

    • We’re working hard to maintain our 96% attendance rate and aim to raise it to 97% or higher.

    • Please ensure your child is at school every day unless they’re ill or you’ve communicated a special circumstance with us.

    • Remember, every day counts for your child’s success!

  • Bluebird Buzz Link:

    • Stay informed by visiting the Bluebird Buzz: Bluebird Buzz.

    • You’ll find breakfast and lunch menus, important dates, and upcoming events.

Thank you for your continued support of our school and community. Let’s work together to make 2025 a fantastic year filled with growth, learning, and success for all our Bluebirds!

With gratitude,
Pauletha Butts
Principal, Alvaton Elementary

This website provides learning resources about approximately 100,000 books for children and young adults.

“Reading to children, either in the classroom or in our public libraries, is one of my favorite things to do,” the First Lady said. “On my visits around the state, I’ve learned that teachers, librarians and families are always looking for ways to bring stories to life for their kids, just like Andy and I loved to do for Will and Lila. That’s exactly what TeachingBooks is all about.” 

She also shared “Winnie’s Christmas Book Club,” a list of picture books that would make great gifts for Kentucky kids this Christmas season. These include holiday booksKentucky books and some of the Beshear family’s all-time favorite stories. They are all featured on TeachingBooks here, with book cover jigsaw puzzles, videos, discussion questions and more.

The First Lady also encouraged buying from local bookstores and supporting Kentucky authors when shopping.
