BSES Weekly Update

October 4, 2024

Principal Message

BSES Families-

This week we welcomed our new fifth-grade safeties for October who will be playing an important role in ensuring our arrival and dismissal run safely and smoothly.

Our fourth graders had a special opportunity to learn about the National Park Service and even received their own park passes! We encourage them to explore and enjoy the beauty our country has to offer.

Additionally, many of our classes had the chance to meet with their buddies today, building friendships and connections across grade levels. And to cap off the week, we showed our support for the Philadelphia Phillies as they enter the playoffs by wearing red and Phillies gear!

Thank you for your continued support and partnership!

Take care.

Tara Allen & Susan Papson
