Message from the Principal
BBE Parents,
There are lots of great things happening at BBE in the next and last week of school. We cannot wait to celebrate the students during our class awards from Tuesday through Thursday. Please note that the time and date of our 3rd grade awards has moved to Thursday morning at 9 AM. Our Senior Stroll date and time has also changed to May 20th at 3 PM in case you know any graduating seniors who will participate. 4th grade Clap Out, End of Year Party, and Early Release are just around the corner so please communicate attendance on the forms we have sent out.
We are so grateful for such a great community here at BBE. This has been such a tremendous school year and it has been great to see the Bears LEAD the way!
Thank you for trusting us with your students. Bears LEAD the Way! All the Way! Go Bears!
