New Recess Equipment
All Grade levels:
Make sure recess equipment is put back up after your time outside.
There are two basketballs, a football, a soccer ball, kickball,
a bag to put loose equipment and two ankle skippers
on each rack. Hopefully the ugly colors will keep them
at school : )




Two New Bees
Carmen Chandross and Lizzie Leinbach are new members in the Hive as
teaching assistant. You may know Carmen from after school BASE and
will be assigned to respond to school needs from 7:35 -11:35am daily.
Lizzie will take over for Andrea Mayfield in B-Base.


Dressing up for Halloween
After a brief survey today, BES long time staff are letting Jason know that
we haven’t officially let kids dress up for the day in awhile. Unless there
are major objections, we will keep it that way until we can have a good
conversation about it. If teachers can announce this to their students
and also keep in mind, if kids can’t dress up, we should not either. We
will also make sure it is on the announcements. Boo Humbug!

THANK YOU!
The Admin Team would like to thank our teaching staff for the energy
and motivation behind this year's PD time. It was a wonderful sight
observing everyone following their passion in our own, "genius hour".
We are glad that you are able to take the time to improve for the
benefit of our little bees.

A BROWNSVILLE STUDENT
Beginning Monday, the admin team will begin a series of learning
topics on the morning announcements about what it is to be a
BROWNSVILLE STUDENT. A LEARNER, SAFE, CARING will
be the traits we focus on. The objective is to give students, teachers, families
language to help students understand their role at school and in the
community. Take a look at the plan an let the admin team know if
you would like to participate in the evolution of this plan.
