Message from the Principal
BBE Parents,
We’re heading into our final week before the holiday break, and our students are working hard as we wrap up a big round of testing. Thank you for helping us keep the focus on learning strong each and every day! Classroom holiday parties will take place at the end of next week, so please keep an eye out for details from your child’s teacher.
We’d also like to extend a big congratulations to our students and staff on a wonderful Winter Concert this past Tuesday—what a fantastic performance! And a huge thank-you to our amazing PTO for organizing and running the Santa Store. We are grateful for all you do to support our school community.
Thank you for trusting us with your students. Bears LEAD the Way! All the Way! Go Bears!
