The 5th Grade Musical & Red Carpet Event Was An Event To Remember! 
Pictures will be posted soon. Keep checking our BES FB page for snapshots of the amazing event.
Attention 5th Gr. Parents
Room Reps are still taking monetary donations to fund the 5th grade activities. Please send any donation, cash/check payable to BES with 5th grade written on the envelope and memo line to homeroom teachers. 
Yearbooks Went Home This Week!
If you missed the opportunities to pre-order a yearbook, you may be able to purchase one of our extra yearbooks on Monday, May11. Send in $30.00 CASH ONLY on Monday morning with your student. Upon arrival at school, your student should go to his/her classroom. After the morning bell, we will make an announcement for all students who would like to purchase a yearbook to come to the media center. If we have more students who wish to purchase than we have yearbooks, we will hold a lottery to determine who will receive a book. 
Have You Moved or Will You Be Moving?
Be sure to let the office know and provide new residency information if you have moved or if you will be moving. We will be doing a summer mailing with important Meet The Teacher information and will need your current address for the mailing.
