Broadmoor's Weekly Wildcat News!

Dear BES Families,

This is a super short week, but we have so much to be grateful for!

On Monday night, our 5th grade will WOW us with their first band concert. Then, all area senior citizens are invited to our Afternoon of Gratitude. Please share with your family, friends, and neighbors!

Thank you to our amazing PTO for spoiling our staff for American Education Week! They do so much for us and we are extremely grateful. Please check their website out and reach out to become involved in the very best parent group ever!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Cindy Apple, Principal

Please make sure your children are dressed appropriately for outside recess. We try to go out as much as possible, but the wind can be really cold on the playground. Our teachers and I make the decision in regards to if students are dressed appropriately and allowed outside, depending on how it feels outside and some students may have indoor recess if they are not dressed for the cold.

We celebrated American Education Week last week.

Thank you to our amazing PTO for spoiling us all week!

Our 6-7 Day was a fun way to celebrate the 67th Day of School!

We love our Winter Windows by Mrs. Draper from LMS!!

Please talk to your students about walking and riding around town safely. We've had several reports of close calls, and we talk to the students about these topics often. However, if you could also talk to your children and practice safe measures with them that would be amazing.

1. When crossing at 68 Highway and Summerfield OR at 5th and Metcalf - PLEASE push the button but do not enter the road until you are certain the vehicles are going to stop in both directions. Even more, make sure they look at the cars coming and that they are going to stop and are paying attention. Please go out with your children and practice crossing these streets and the routes they take.

2. When riding scooters or bikes during drop-off or pick-up, we have asked all students to get off of their bike/scooter and walk it to the bike racks once they get on our main sidewalk. We have had students fall off the curb into traffic due to bikes/scooters coming up beside them and scaring them. We have also had scooters fall off the curb and into traffic.

We tell the students all the time they have to be the ones paying attention to what the vehicles are doing because unfortunately, the drivers are often distracted.

Thank you for helping us keep our kids safe!

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!
