Welcome Back! The Magic Begins.

A new school year means a new season of Bear Essentials! In this episode, we’re kicking things off with our new theme, Learning Is Magic, and talking about what that means for Blue Ridge families.

We’ll introduce Blue Ridge Bear, who will be popping up throughout the Blue Ridge community this year, both in person and online. We’ll also give you a preview of the conversations coming up this season, from supporting different kinds of learners and encouraging curiosity to building community, finding great books, and learning from mistakes.

So settle in, get ready for the new school year, and join us for the beginning of a new season of Bear Essentials.
