All BBE staff and students set aside time to be extra kind at the end of January. We completed many acts of kindness checklists, spread kindness to buddy classes around the building, shared many ways we love BBE, received smiley face balloons in each classroom, took photos with our PTA sponsored yard sign, and visited the SNOW Many Ways to Spread Kindness photo booth! It was a special week here at Bear Branch!

Mrs. Wimberly continued supporting student reflection about our Bear's strengths, hopes, and dreams during individual personalized counseling meetings. Most 1st-5th graders have had a chance to meet with Mrs. Wimberly this school year. She will visit with all remaining students during the 4th quarter.
