Message from the Principal
BBE Parents,
We had a great week at BBE ending with our card exchange for Valentine's Day. Please enjoy the three day weekend upcoming for students are we work diligently on Monday preparing for new ways to impact student learning. Next week will mark three weeks until Spring Break and the end of the third nine weeks. Man, the school year is going fast! We appreciate the efforts of our students and cannot wait to see everyone back at school on Tuesday! Upcoming event is our Daddy Daughter Dance on Feb 20 and please remember there will not be visitors for campus lunches on Feb 24. I appreciate it!
Thank you for trusting us with your students. Bears LEAD the Way! All the Way! Go Bears!
