Attention Class of 2031!

Don't miss out on the chance to get your very own Class of 2031 shirts! We want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to grab this exclusive memento, so mark your calendars for January 26, 2024, as this will be the FINAL DATE to place your orders. There won't be any other opportunities, so make sure you don't miss the deadline!

After the final order is placed, we will start the production process, and delivery of the shirts will take a few weeks. We want to ensure the highest quality and perfect printing, so we appreciate your patience during this time. Rest assured, your shirts will be on their way to you shortly after the deadline.

This is a remarkable keepsake that you'll cherish for years to come, commemorating your school years and the graduating class of 2031. Don't let this opportunity slip away! Spread the word among your classmates and get your orders in before January 26th!

Thank you all for your support and enthusiasm. We can't wait to see you wearing your Class of 2031 shirts with pride!

Thank you for the interest in Yarn Club! We are officially full. This coming Monday we will have our first meeting just after dismissal. The only thing required of your student is a snack if they wish and positive attitude, (sometimes learning a new intricate skill requires patience and perseverance), and they will do great!!! I am looking forward to having them. Thanks and see you at 4:15 in the front of the building for pick up.

Has your family experienced a relational change that has impacted your child? The Changes at Home small group is designed to teach students how to use healthy coping strategies when dealing with a family change at home, such as divorce or separation. This group may help your child connect with other kids who may share similar thoughts and feelings, reflect on their thoughts and feelings and gain tools to help them cope with their emotions in a healthy way.

If you are interested in your child participating in this small group please complete this Google Parent Permission Form or contact the BBE Counselor, Julie Wimberly at 281-641-1607.

Happy New Year!
