3rd Grade Kindness Squad had been hard at work the last couple weeks to make VIP day a little extra special at BES. These students made flowers out of coffee filters and pipe cleaners, made signs and a big banner, and turned it all into a flower shop for our VIP's to enjoy and take a flower or two during their visit last Thursday as a remembrance of a great day!

4K students had an awesome trip to the Geneva Lakes Family YMCA during their outreach event on Wednesday! During their visit, they learned important water safety skills, practiced being safe around the pool, and had the chance to splash, swim, and build confidence in the water. It was a fun-filled afternoon full of smiles, learning, and new experiences. We are so proud of how well the students listened and participated. Way to make us #MustangProud!
