Our 1st Annual Big Top Bonanza
Our First BES Big Top Bonanza on November 9 was a wonderful afternoon of family fun and it would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our outstanding staff and the unwavering support of our amazing community. Thank you to all the parents and families who donated items for our auction baskets, candy bars and sodas for the carnival games, and who brought their children so they could sing their hearts out in "This is Me" and show their rhythm in the Drumfit performance. Most of all, thank you for coming to enjoy a Saturday afternoon at BES - we love our community and enjoy the opportunity to show you how much! Check out our BES Facebook page for more pictures and videos from the fantastic evening! We would love your feedback on how we can make improvements - click HERE to complete a short survey.

Core Essential Value for December 2018
Last month we talked about COOPERATION, and this month we will learn about COMPASSION! Compassion means caring enough to do something about someone else's need.
During the month, we will be talking about ways to help others. Since this is the season of giving, we encourage students to think about ways that they can bring happiness to the lives
of others either by themselves or as part of a group. We will be working on a special project to bring happiness and joy to members of our community, and we can't wait to share this with you!
There is a family newsletter in English and Spanish and a coloring sheet about compassion at the end of this newsletter for families to enjoy.
