Our 6th Grade BEES are off on an unforgettable adventure at the Manic Education Center in Massachusetts! 🐝🌲
This retreat is about so much more than travel — it’s about building community, strengthening friendships, developing independence, and creating lifelong memories together. From outdoor activities and team-building experiences to laughter, reflection, and new challenges, our students are learning, growing, and thriving beyond the walls of the classroom.
At BEES, we believe some of the most important learning happens when students feel connected, supported, and inspired — and this experience brings our PURPOSE philosophy to life in every way.
We are so proud of our students for representing BEES with positivity, curiosity, and heart. Thank you to our incredible staff for making opportunities like this possible for our children. 💙💛

Today our 7th graders stepped beyond the classroom and into the heart of democracy — observing a naturalization ceremony, speaking with a judge, and participating in a mock trial at the courthouse. An unforgettable day of learning what citizenship, justice, and civic responsibility look like in real life. ⚖️🇺🇸🐝

more from last nights amazing performance. Chef Louis is the eccentric, French chef in Disney’s The Little Mermaid, known for his obsession with cooking fish, his short temper, and his iconic song “Les Poissons,” in which he sings about preparing seafood while trying to cook Sebastian the crab!
They say one great show can change the world. Last night BEES staged our 5th musical “The Little Mermaid Jr”. We are all still beaming with light, pride and joy this morning. Congratulations to the cast, crew and everyone who supported this journey! The performances were top notch, the costumes all home made and for the first time BEES students produced the show themselves running all the sound and lights.
