🍂Fall Festival 2026 💙
What better way to celebrate all the hard work, growth, and accomplishments of our students, teachers, and staff during Term 1 than with a day full of Fall fun?
From dancing and sack races to tug-of-war, games, and LOTS of laughter, our BES family had an absolute blast! 🍁
A HUGE thank you to our amazing teachers and staff for making this day so special for our students! You work hard every day, and celebrating together makes it even sweeter! 💙
Here’s to a fantastic first term and even more growth and memories ahead! 🌟

4th Grade Lotuses wrapped up the first quarter with a day full of Fall fun! From Dosi-Do dance lessons and exciting games to a movie, snacks and scarecrow- themed art. Our Lotuses danced, played, created, and made wonderful memories together. #4thGradeLotuses #FallFun #LetsGrowBES










October Menus


BES Families,
Report Card Pickup is on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, from 4:30-6:00pm. It will look a little different this year. Beginning at 4:30 PM, we invite families to pick up their child’s report card in the BES Cafeteria. After picking up report cards, families may head to their child’s classroom to meet with the teacher or stop by the Book Fair in the BES Library!
BES teachers will reach out by this Friday to families they would specifically like to meet with on October 13th. However, all families are welcome and encouraged to visit with their child’s teacher, even if you do not receive a specific request for a conference.
We look forward to seeing our BES families and celebrating our students’ progress!
