A Message from our Principal...

We’ve had a SUPER week here at BES!!! Yesterday’s Wylie Way Day was one of our best yet!!

From the Library…
We have collected quite a bit of pet food for the animal shelter. We will continue to take the pet food through tomorrow, Friday, February 9th. The winner will be announced around 1:30 Friday afternoon.
Here are the details for both contests:
1: Bring in any can of pet food, get your name put into a drawing once for a $25 Scholastic gift card. Bring in a BAG of pet food, get your name entered twice!! All donated food will be taken to the Wylie animal shelter.
2: Collect the change competition. The teacher of the class that collects the most change by February 9 will be rewarded.
1st place: $50 Scholastic Gift Certificate
2nd place: $25 Scholastic Gift Certificate
3rd place: $10 Scholastic Gift Certificate
The money collected from the change competition will go back into buying books for the students. :)
We have an AUTHOR coming! Chris Barton will be here on February 27 to talk with our Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders. He will also be doing a book signing for those that are interested. If you have one of his books, feel free to bring it with you that day. If you do not have one, they sell them on Amazon and are fairly inexpensive. I will attach a few of his most popular titles for smaller children. We are very excited about this experience for you child.
