Congratulations Tristan Landers!

tristan

Fourth Grader, Tristan Landers competed in the Punt Pass and Kick competition on Sunday Nov. 27th at the Georgia Dome and placed second in her age division! To even qualify for this event Tristan had to win first place at the competition held here at BES, then win first place at the Sectional level. Her score was then compared to all the other sectional scores for her age group. Simply making it to the Dome competition was a huge accomplishment. Way to go Tristan! We are so proud of you!

Festive Christmas Spirit - Sweaters, Shirts, Socks... Oh My!
As you can see, our teachers and staff love to get in the holiday spirit. There is no telling what kind of Christmas sweaters they may pull out of their closets. This week seemed to be only the beginning of what we might see. I wonder what next week's Christmas Spirit will look like?
