Capturing Kids Hearts in Action at BES! Our classrooms, from Head Start through 1st Grade, created Social Contracts at the beginning of the school year , and we are so proud of the thoughtful ideas our students shared! These contracts are more than posters on the wall, they are student-created agreements about how we promise to treat one another, learn together, and hold each other accountable. After creating the social contracts, students and teachers signed them! ❤️

🎄 December Capturing Kids’ Hearts Focus: RESPONSIBILITY! 🎄 This month at BES, we’re shining a spotlight on Responsibility—and what a perfect time of year to reflect, grow, and make great choices! 🌟 We’re encouraging our students to take a closer look at their actions, decisions, and personal growth. Responsibility means owning our choices, learning from every experience (big or small!), and showing others they can count on us. 💪✨ Here’s to a month filled with mindful moments, positive habits, and students stepping up in all the best ways! ❤️🐾 #BESKittens #CKH #Responsibility #ChooseKind #LeadWithHeart
