This week is the Veterans Day Concert! Here are some reminders along with Mrs. Montgomery's information below!

2. If you want to sign out of school after the concert, please let us know and do so earlier in the day. We will have the students put their things in the office before leaving so as soon as they return, they can come to you in the office.

3. Doors will open 30 minutes before...12:30pm.

3 Don't forget to wear RED, WHITE, and BLUE!

Friday our students and families are welcome to walk to school for Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day! See information below.

Have a great week,

Dear families,

We are excited to invite you to our Veterans Day Concert on Tuesday, November 11, at 1:00 PM in the Louisburg High School gym. Our students have been working hard to prepare songs in honor of our veterans.

Concert Details:
Date: Tuesday, November 11
Time: 1:00 PM
Location: Louisburg High School Gym
Attire: Please have your child wear red, white, or blue

To help your child feel confident and ready, please encourage them to practice their songs at home using the link below:

2025 Veterans Day Music

If your child has a speaking part or a solo, please also encourage them to practice that as well.

We look forward to sharing this special program with you as we celebrate and honor our veterans together!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Montgomery

Thanks to our 5th grade teachers for the great mayoral election! Congratulations to Mayor June!

Thank you to all our families for their support at our Book Fair!

The Family Night and Grand Event was AWESOME!

We are so thankful for all the GRAND people in our lives and our students' lives!

Thank you for spending your morning with us.

November 14th is recognized in Kansas as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day. The day honors Ruby Bridges, the first African American child to attend an all-white elementary school in Louisiana.

We are looking for volunteers to meet students at various points to walk to school together.

Our meet up points are:

Summerfield pool @ 7:15 and will meet up with more at the Louisburg Aquatic Center at 7:30am

City Park @ 7:30

The shelter house at the Ron Weers Park @ 7:30

Kids and families are welcome to walk and bike to school in honor of this day. We will also be watching the Ruby Bridges movie and each student may receive a book about her life. This movie is rated PG and will be watched in classrooms with teachers to discuss the content as they are watching it. There is some language and scenes that are uncomfortable and could be upsetting. As a school, we feel our students need to understand the heaviness behind the words and actions in those scenes. We do hear this upsetting language from our students. While we do not tolerate it, this movie gives a more relatable opportunity for our kids to understand why it is not acceptable and how hurtful it truly is. This is a great time to watch the movie with your family, and discuss the historical events of that time. The movie is available on Disney+. We do want to give families the option of opting their child out of watching and discussing this movie. Please see the form below to do so. Any students that will not be watching will be in the library during the movie.

Please let me know if you have any questions and if you are able to be a volunteer that day to walk to school with students.

Hello USD 416 Families and Friends,

Believe it or not, cold weather and the holiday season are fast approaching. The added expense of this season can be a heavy burden. The USD 416 social worker/counselor team wanted to share with you some free resources for winter coats, Thanksgiving meal baskets and Christmas gifts (Christmas gift program is for Louisburg children birth to 18). Please be mindful of each deadline for requesting assistance. As far away as they seem, the deadlines will be here before you know it.

If your family could benefit from a little extra support to ease the seasonal burden, then please see our newsletter to learn about some wonderful resources!

Please take note of our school calendars when planning your family's vacations.

Attendance is a focus at BES and we want your children at school! It can be very difficult for students to get caught up sometimes when they miss for extended periods of time. For example, when a student misses a week of school, that is up to 450 minutes of math instruction they are missing!

If your family does have a trip planned, we do not provide lessons or materials ahead of those trips. Teachers will work with you to schedule times when your student can be given that instruction and guided work time to ensure mastery of skills. This may have to happen before or after school, but we will also try to work during the school day as well.

GREAT school habits now help prepare students for future success!
