Ballentine Elementary School

Heading out on vacation or enjoying the lazy days of summer at home? Stop by the BES library and pick up a few great books! Whether you're reading by the pool, at the beach, or curled up on the couch, a good book makes summer even better.

See you on Wednesday!

We are pleased to celebrate our 5th grade Bears as they embark on the next stage of their educational journey, and we are confident that they will continue to distinguish themselves and uphold the three B’s.

Today we paid tribute to four dedicated teachers as they transition into retirement. Mrs. Radtke, Mrs. Colvin, Mrs. Seibles, and Ms. Brautigam have selflessly devoted years to loving and growing our students.

We are so grateful for the impact they’ve had on generations of students, and while we’ll miss them dearly, we hope retirement brings them lots of relaxation, joy, adventure, and absolutely no Sunday night scaries. We look forward to their visits back to BES!

After countless lesson plans, carline duties, copied papers, and early alarm clocks, they’ve officially earned the right to sleep in, drink their coffee while it’s still hot, and use the restroom whenever they want. 😊

Ms Edmondson’s class ended the year at the “resort” to celebrate their year of learning!

BESt. Day. Ever.

Today was such a special day as we welcomed back our graduating seniors for the annual Senior Walk! 🎓🐻

We loved seeing our former BES Bears walk the halls where it all began, reconnect with former teachers, and inspire our current students as they look ahead to their own bright futures.

What a full-circle moment for our school family - once a Bear, always a Bear!

BESt. Day. Ever!

Bear Blast was FULL of friends, laughter, bounce houses, bingo, Ramped Up Recess, so many games, and popsicles to help us cool off on a hot day! There was even a dunking booth featuring some very good-sport staff members!

From start to finish, the smiles and excitement were nonstop. Our students worked so hard all year long, and today was the perfect way to celebrate an amazing school year together. (We have a feeling there are some VERY tired kids headed to bed early tonight!)

What a fun day to be a BES Bear!

Ms. Sightler’s class celebrated all of their learning, growth, and amazing effort with a fun Popsicle & Bubble Party. We are so proud of how much they’ve accomplished this year!
