It's that time of year again, Bernardo's Annual Book Drive! Thanks to our amazing school community, last year we were able to collect over 1,000 books that were distributed to other schools within EUSD! This year we are collecting books not only for elementary, but middle school & high school as well. So start looking through your home library and feel free to bring us your like new/gently used books. We have a collection box in the front office and will continue to collect books through the book fair in March. Thank you for supporting our community!


Our 3rd graders are excited to facilitate a community service project to collect items to support babies in need by an amazing organization called "Gently Hugged." We have placed a couple of collection boxes at our front office for your convenience. Last day to donate is Friday, January 31st. Please visit their website for more details at www.gentlyhugged.org or scan the QR Code provided. Thank you to all who have already donated! :)



Please join us this Friday, January 24 at 8:15 am for our next PTA Association Meeting in the MPR. Lots of refreshments and great conversations to include a nomination committee, budget, and upcoming events. We'd love to see you there as we all work together to make Bernardo Elementary the best it can be!

Blanket Drive: The winter months pose additional challenges for our students without a stable nighttime residence. Blanket Drive helps support students in Escondido who are unhoused, are in the foster care system, or who are military connected. Blankets, umbrellas, waterproof boots or high-top shoes, jackets w/hoods, or a gift card to a shoe store would provide much-needed resources for students connected to the Project Success Resource Center. Items can be dropped off at the Divine Fog Realty office no later than Dec. 12th. Items will continue to be collected throught Feb. 27, 2025.
Divine Fog Realty is committed to giving back to the communities we serve -
