We wrapped up the school year with a bang by celebrating all of the amazing things our students have accomplished! 🎉

Throughout the year, our students earned Brag Cards for demonstrating hard work, kindness, responsibility, perseverance, and so many other positive behaviors. We are incredibly proud to share that we handed out over 650 Brag Cards this year! ⭐️

Each card represents a moment worth celebrating and a student who made a positive impact in our school community. Watching our students grow, learn, and shine has been one of the greatest rewards of this school year.

Way to go, students! Thank you for making this year one to remember. We can’t wait to see all the great things you’ll accomplish next year! ❤️📚🎓

Legend: an educator whose impact, dedication, and influence leave a lasting mark on students and the school community.

We spent the morning celebrating 3 extraordinary legends. These individuals have dedicated countless hours to not only their job in the classroom, but to the students in our building. Their dedication to growing and teaching our future generation will forever have an impact on our teachers and staff.

We will miss you Mr. Ingle, Mrs. Page, and Mrs. Pat! Enjoy your retirement! 🫶🏻💙

Did you know that students can lose about 20% of their school year gains in reading over summer break? It’s called the summer slide, but not the fun kind 🛝

If you are looking for ways to keep your child reading, look for the information about our BES Summer Reading Challenge and the Harriman Public Library’s Summer Reading Program, “Unearth a Story” coming home today.
