Thanks for all you do!

Field Day
BSE Field Day is just around the corner with Out of this World! Join us on Thursday, May 16 (rain date May 17) by signing up to volunteer for your favorite station. Kindergarten and 3rd/4th graders will participate in the morning while 1st/2nd graders will participate in the afternoon.
To make it easier to distinguish one grade from another, we're asking students to wear a specific color shirt:
- Kindergarten = purple
- First grade = yellow field trip shirts
- Second grade = green shirts
- Third grade = maroon shirts
- Fourth grade = light blue field trip shirts.
Don't forget the sunscreen, tennis shoes, and to have your kids dress appropriately.
You must have the required SafeVisitor background check on file (instructions below). We also ask that, for safety reasons, no siblings attend. We cannot allow visitors so you must be signed up to volunteer in order to attend. Sign up deadline is 5/10.
Contact Amy Stempkowski (dr_amyroache@hotmail.com) with questions. Thank you!

Chess Club Tournament
On March 27, forty BSE students participated in the annual BSE Chess Club Tournament. Students in first, second, third, and fourth grades played a total of five games against other students from the same grades as themselves. Strategy, tactics, and deep thought were displayed by many of our Bears. Congratulations to all!
