Bear News!
Way to Go Bears!! Friday December 9th.
Message from the office.
Hello BCE Community.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break. It was such a great time with family, friends, and relaxation.
We had a wet week, and lots of students have been out with a cold. Please remember to call the attendance line if your student is going to be out and leave a detailed phone message. Attendance is important, but we want to ensure our students are healthy.
I want to shout out to Maura Callahan and all the parent volunteers for doing a great job with the book fair right before the break. It was such a great success, and it wouldn't have happened without your support.
We have a lot of activities happening this month at BCE. Please make sure you are up to date with your classroom newsletters.
As always, please let us know if you need anything. Have a great weekend
Mrs. Fippin and Office Staff
Canned Food Drive:
