For all the planners out there…

⏰ Back-to-school season will be here before we know it, and the deadline to order 1st Day School Supplies kits is quickly approaching (July 1st)! Don’t wait until the last minute — order your kit now and skip the chaos later.

Imagine this: it’s August, you’re standing in a crowded Target or Walmart school supply aisle, shelves are half empty, your child’s exact items are nowhere to be found, and you’re bouncing between stores hoping to track down the right folders, markers, and notebooks. Meanwhile, the checkout lines are wrapped halfway through the store and you’re wondering why you didn’t just order the school kit weeks ago. 😅

Save yourself the stress, the time, and the extra expense by ordering through 1st Day School Supplies today. Everything your child needs is delivered in one easy kit and ready for the first day of school! ✏️📚🎒

🎨📚✨ A Special Shoutout to Our Yearbook Cover Artist!

We’d like to give special recognition and a heartfelt thank-you to 2nd grade teacher Leah Beckman for her dedication and commitment to this year’s yearbook cover. Ms. Beckman taught herself how to paint with oil pastels in order to bring this year’s vision to life in a beautiful cover. We are so grateful for the hours of practice and work she put into creating the 30th anniversary cover. She models the same behavior we encourage in our students: take risks, embrace mistakes, be persistent, and enjoy the lessons learned when successfully completing a task.

This yearbook was designed with intention and heart to make our history come to life.

A huge thank-you to Dr. Wilkins, a retired Bascomb teacher, for going above and beyond to help us track down those very first yearbook photos. And to the family of Dr. Gunderson — your generosity in sharing those memories means more than words can say.

Finally, thank you to the current alumni parents and to those alumni featured in the “Road from Bascomb” Then & Now spotlight for their contributions to this special feature.

*If you didn’t get this year’s, there’s always next year! We have our theme🤐🤗🤫Early sales start in August, so mark those calendars for the best bargain!
