One Book, One School!
Families in Kindergarten through Grade 6, check your child's backpack on Friday, February 27. They will come home with a letter explaining our One Book One School program, a reading calendar, and a copy of the book "Friendship According to Humphrey". This is an opportunity for families to come together and read a chapter every night, along with the rest of our BEST family community. Students will have a chance to win small prizes during school, by answering questions about the chapter they read the night before!
Breaking news! Despite extreme snowfall and multiple snow days, the highly anticipated My Hero Dance is STILL ON for Friday night.
