BES Principal Newsletter

Good evening BES families,
As always, please click on Mrs. Howard's notes below. She has been busy in the classrooms teaching important wellness and life skills. We are so very blessed to have her in Byron Area Schools serving our community!
Last week, the 1st graders at Byron Elementary had an assignment to write a letter to a sports figure for March is Reading Month. The theme this year is "March Madness," and Mrs. Bartlett's 1st graders decided to write to Michigan State Head Basketball Coach Tom Izzo with a challenge. The class said that each time Michigan State wins a game in the basketball tournament, they will read not 20 minutes a night, but 40 minutes. This week the students were thrilled when they heard back from the Michigan State Men's Basketball Team, and got a picture of Mr. Izzo reading their letter. The team said they hope the students will be reading 40 minutes many times during the tournament, and thanked them for their encouraging words. The advice the 1st graders offered the team was to "try your best, be brave, and remember that you are loved whether you win or lose". Tomorrow, Room 8 at Byron Elementary will be a sea of green as we cheer on our favorite team! "Go Green!" #MichiganStatebasketball #Spartanbasketball #coachizzo #spartannation #marchmadness
As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns!
Educationally Yours,
Mrs. Johnson
