Last Week Until Break! 11am Dismissal on Friday!

Dear BES Families,


I say it every year, but I mean it - this semester flew by! I cannot believe we are finishing up our second quarter and preparing for our winter break. Thank you for your support of our educators and staff this semester. We truly love partnering with you to ensure your children's success - whether that be academic, social, or behavioral. All our students are ALL our student and they mean the world to us!


This week is our Holiday Market that LHS organizes for us. Students will go to shop if they choose to during the week. Your child's teacher will put the day of shopping in their weekly message - but I have it below as well. If your child misses their day, they can go another day! See the flyer below.

Monday: Rogan, Gordon, McCombs, Brown, Kreiser, Stone

Tuesday: Harris, Lohse, Finley, Kjar, Carlson, Richardson

Wednesday: O'Keefe, Burnett, Gazaway

Thursday: Smotherman, VanReno, Mulcahy


We have one more concert for our BES students this Wednesday night. Please see the information below from Mrs. Reynolds. Our Ambassadors are also having a little fun for us with their Snowflake Showdown - check out the info below.


Our parties are Friday at 10am. Hope to see you there!


Have a wonderful week!

Cindy Apple, Principal

After School Clubs After School Clubs

zoom_out_map

Every year, we offer after school clubs for our students during third quarter. The clubs are all run by students from LHS who are in the Interact Club. Each club is on different nights, but they run Mondays through Thursdays. Some are one day, some are two days - it depends on the club leaders!


Students must be in good standing and Mrs. Apple will determine if students are able to participate or not. They must be students who do their assignments, get projects or assignments turned in on time, and have no office referrals for behaviors. Students can only be in one club.


Along with After School Clubs, we do offer Power Hour as well still. It is four days a week and is a great time to get caught up on work, complete assignments, or practice reading and math facts!


Watch your email for sign-ups for After School Clubs. That will begin Dec. 19th!

Mindset Minute

During the month of December, we pause our 7 Mindset lessons and take an opportunity to give back to those around us. The mindsets we have discussed first semester - Everything is Possible, We are Connected & Attitude of Gratitude are each put into practice as we kick off our Holiday Challenge. During the first three weeks of December, the BES Holiday Challenge invites kids and families to join us in giving to those around us in simple ways. We will contribute to local senior citizen's holiday baskets, have Penny Wars to benefit an elementary school, BES, in North Carolina , and work to stock the shelves of our local food pantry. Everything is possible when we all give a little! Watch the BES Facebook page each week for more information!

Week-By-Week How You Can Help!

Week 1 - Wow!! Thank you for the donations!


Week 2- Thank you!! I will share the total once we have it - but I think it is going to be AMAZING!


Week 3 - Stock the shelves of our local food pantry! Agape food pantry is an invaluable resource for many in our community, particularly during the holiday season. Join us as we work to stock their shelves with food! Please limit your donations to the following items - Canned chicken/tuna, canned MEAL soup, canned vegetables, peanut butter, and jelly. Please, no 'cream of' soups that you use in casseroles and such.

Seasonal Support Newsletter

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!

Birthday in a Bag

Due to a generous grant from the LES PTO, we are able to offer Birthday in a Bag to help parents, who need a little assistance, be able to celebrate their child's birthday while offsetting a little of the expense. Birthday in a Bag will come in a gift bag that contains allergy informed box of cake mix, frosting, 1 can of Sprite (to make an oil and eggless cake), disposable cake pan, birthday plates and plasticware, candles, a Happy Birthday headband, Party favor blowers, balloons.


We are able to offer this to children who attend Circle Grove preschool, RES and BES.


If you would like to receive Birthday in a Bag to help celebrate your child's birthday, please submit this form (if you have more than one child in your home attending at CG, RES or BES, please submit a SEPARATE form for EACH child).


**If your child has a summer birthday, we will hand those out in May for you to take home. If your child has a Fall birthday that has already passed, we will send theirs home at their "half" birthday.

Attendance and School Calendars Attendance and School Calendars

Receive an Attendance Email from School?

If you receive an attendance letter from school, it is meant to inform you of your student's absences or tardies. This way you can also keep track of the days gone and how to plan ahead to

miss fewer days.

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!
