Dear BES Families,

We a fun, short week ahead!

On Wednesday, our students will be walking over to LHS to participate in Ag Day. October is Farm to School month and our high school FFA students put on an amazing event where the students can learn about floriculture, poultry, get up close with farm animals, and even climb on some tractors! This activity coincides with our current 7 Mindset, We Are Connected, as we make connections with our high school students and get to learn from them!

Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up on Wednesday and Thursday. Please note we have different times than Rockville. Our conferences on October 9th are from 4-8pm and on the 10th they are 8am-12pm. At this time, please contact your child's teacher if you have not yet signed up.

Below you will see lots of upcoming events and updates from the teachers. We also have some pictures from our week in the Wildcat Gallery of our Blood Drive, our Foster Grandparent celebration, and our Student Ambassadors working hard at the LMS concession stand!

Have a great week!

Cindy Apple, Principal

Hi BES Parents!

I have so enjoyed getting to know your children the past 6 weeks and we have had the best time learning songs for the K-4 Veterans Day program. The program is quickly approaching, it will take place on Monday, November 11 at 1:00. We will be rehearsing during the school day the Friday before, November 8 at the High School. I wanted to provide you with some practicing resources in case your student would like to sing these songs at home, for the little ones especially: Veterans Day 2024 Home Practice

The song “American Tears” has 3 solos in it, and we will do auditions for those solos October 16-23. There is an “American Tears” slide on the presentation with the practice track and link to a PDF that has lyrics and shows where the solos are. In the coming weeks we will also be divvying up speaking parts and really bringing the entire program together. If your student comes home with a part, thank you in advance for your support and practicing with them at home.

Lastly, attire for the concert will be the same as it has been in the past - red, white, and blue! The more patriotic the better. Thanks again for welcoming me into your community and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!

All the best,

Ms. Reynolds

We have a lot going on in the BES Library!

This week at conferences, we will have a Nonsale Book Sale on our stage! See details below!

Nov. 4-8th: Book Fair! Be on the lookout for volunteer opportunities, our Family Night, and our Grand Event!

Believe it or not, cold weather and the holiday season are fast approaching. We 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). There are deadlines to each that, again, as far away as they seem, will be here in no time. The added expense of winter coats and holiday costs can be a heavy burden. If your family could benefit from a little extra support to ease that burden, then we hope these resources will do just that! Please see our newsletter to learn about some wonderful resources!

Hardships can fall on any of us at any time for a variety of reasons. If you are in need of financial, mental health, parenting, military, holiday, etc. assistance, then I hope you will find our community resource guide helpful. https://usd416communityresourceguide.weebly.com/

Louisburg USD 416 participates in a local Blessings in a Backpack program.

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!

Congratulations to the Classroom Winners!
