Reminder - Save the Date: BES Multicultural Night - May 9th (5:30-7:00 pm)

On May 9, 2024, we will be having a multicultural night to celebrate all the amazing cultures not only in our building but around the world. Each grade level will be learning about a country on the continent they are studying. Alongside what they learn in class they will be creating art work that aligns with the country. We want to give families the opportunity to share their culture with the BES community. If your family or a cultural organization that you're apart of is interested in participating in any of the following ways, please indicate all that apply below. We will contact you with more information soon. Thank you and we look forward to seeing lots of different expressions of culture from within our community!

It's art fundraising time, with Kids Kreations! Your child's personalized brochures were sent home this week in their Tuesday folder. Look inside to find a FREE page of stickers created from your child's artwork!

These products make unique keepsakes and wonderful gifts for the entire family. Please take some time to review the order packet with your child's artwork. Follow directions located on the back of your personalized brochure. Either order online or return your completed form no later than March 20. If ordering using the brochure, make checks payable to Briarcliff Elementary PTA.
