BBE Parents,

We had a fantastic week at Bear Branch Elementary! We began with a meaningful and memorable Veterans Day assembly, and we are proud to share that more than 40 veterans—representing every branch of the military and a wide range of service roles—were in attendance. The bravery, dedication, and sacrifice of these men and women truly embody our Bear Branch core values of legacy, excellence, achievement, and determination. It was an honor to celebrate them as a school community.

We wrapped up the week with another incredible accomplishment—our canned food drive! Thanks to the generosity of our Bear Branch families, we collected 2,443 food items to support those in need within our community. Your kindness and willingness to give never cease to amaze us. Thank you for leading the way and making a meaningful difference.

With just one more week until Thanksgiving Break, excitement is building—especially for Field Day on November 21st! We are looking forward to a fun and energizing day together.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping make Bear Branch Elementary such a special place for our students to learn and grow.

Thank you for trusting us with your students. Bears LEAD the Way! All the Way! Go Bears!
