Bear News!
Welcome back Bears- Friday January 27th.
Message from the office.
Happy New Year, BCE Community.
I am sending an extra message out this week to get some well-needed info out for the Parent Club. Please make sure you read below. I will be going back to the every two weeks again for the newsletter.
It is going to be pretty cold next week. We have had so many students without jackets and shorts. Please make sure you bundle up, we don't have extra jackets in the office.
We are in need of extra healthy snacks in the office. If you have anything laying around or are headed to Costco, anything is greatly appreciated.
I hope everyone has an amazing weekend.
Mrs. Fippin and Office Staff

Flyers with info on how to log in under your student's teacher and track minutes have either been sent home or will be done so by February 1st. This is a great way to spend a few minutes each day reading with your student and also raise money for our school. If you do not want to raise money, we still encourage you to read and track your minutes. We will have great prizes.
All money raised will support Art Masterpieces, Learning Garden, and other educational materials for students.
For top readers, we will have great prizes. You will have the opportunity to do a pie in the face of teachers, parents, and even Mrs. Fippin. We can't wait to see how much we can read.
