Parents! The BES BOOSTERTHON FUN RUN is just 2 WEEKS AWAY! The BES FUN RUN will help our school AND teach our students character. This year, we’re raising funds to Enhance General Programs at BES! Last year we raised money for the following:
IXL - Math and ELA - a website that allows true differentiation for students in math and ELA skills based on what they already know and the skills they need to acquire.
Reflex Math - a math game based website that helps students with their math fact fluency. Data shows that this is helping our students learn their math facts
Individual white boards, erasers, and markers for all students to aid in the teaching of our new phonics program
Headphones for Chrome Books
Specialized furniture for some of our special education classrooms
Prizes for reading goals and the summer slide reading program.
Watch the video below to see how you can help our students!!
