Bartholomew Bats!


Our school is located in Round Rock, Texas which is near Austin. Austin and Round Rock both have huge populations of Mexican Free Tailed Bats that live under our bridges. A colony of bats lives beneath the Ann Richards/Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin and in Round Rock, another colony resides under the Interstate 35 bridge over McNeil Road. Each evening from March to about October, the bats fly out from beneath the bridge and search for insects to eat. The emergence of the bats is a wonder to watch. We are also thankful that all these millions of bats eat the bugs by our homes.

Our class mascot is the Bat to honor the mammals that live so close to us and help us. (also because Bat and Bartholomew both start with the letter B!) The bats in Central Texas live together in a group and help take care of the young. Then they migrate together as a team. Our class will also live together in our classroom, work together as a team, and help each other out. We are the Bartholomew Bats!

Thank you for a wonderful year!

Hi, Thank you for a wonderful school year! I have enjoyed your children a great deal this year. We have had many new adventures and have helped each other grow. I am excited to have more time with my family but I will definitely miss your children. Thanks for a great party! Mrs. Geyer did a fantastic job this year as our room mom. Thank you to her. Thank you also for all of you who helped by being here and/or by sending in supplies as well as helping your child at home with school work. It takes a village and your children made good progress this year because we all worked together. Thank you so much! I attached a book list with some sites that have suggested readings for your child this summer. Keep working on math facts, problem solving, writing, and reading this summer! Thanks again and have a safe and happy summer. Sincerely, Pam Bartholomew
