again selling cookie dough and this year A newly designed tumbler including a

special BES new logo design. This year, we are raising funds for our new

building wide positive behavior and character recognition program. Called

"PBIS" you will be hearing more about this program as we develop and kick it

off with students. Thank you again for all of your support!

Mark your Calendar…

Every day most of our students start and end their

day on a school bus. Our bus drivers provide a

valuable service that ensures the safety of our

students. In honor of Bus Driver Appreciation

Week, we want to thank all of the drivers and

transportation staff who perform such a special

job.

Take a moment and say ‘thanks’ to your child's bus

driver and encourage your

child to create a card (or use

the template on p. 5.)

We invite you to attend our

October PTO meeting on

October 18, 7pm BES

Library. Don’t miss out on

updates about what will be

happening at BES this fall!

Love math? This is your night.

On September 24, things got messy on the field at Milford

High School, as countless kids ran through the color chute

(over and over again) at the BES back-to-school Color Jam!

The festive colors, food, drinks, Kona Ice, games, music, and

great weather made for a perfect evening, full of fun.

Special thanks goes to the Color Jam planning team —

Margie Talbot, Ashley Brown and Bridget Hooper — for

putting it all together, and to the many volunteers, staff and

BES families who attended The Color Jam and helped to make

it a great success!
