Banks County Elementary School celebrated Red Ribbon Week this week. Activities included spirit days, door decorating contest, questions of the day, and an assembly. Students have learned more about the importance of making wise choices! 

These students were the overall Leopard Buck Winners for the month of October! Leopard bucks are given out by faculty members to students who go above and beyond the behavioral expectations at BCES. Our behavior motto is, "All day every day, remember, a Leopard always ROARS!" This means that our students are Respectful, show Ownership for their actions, have a positive Attitude, are Responsible, and are Safe. 

Congratulations to Kadie Edwards, Gracin Myers, and Gregory Ping for being a positive example for others at school! 

Baileigh Birr, in Ms. Blackmon & Mrs. Loggins' homeroom, is the Bus Rider of the Month for October! She won some awesome prizes for being a great example to others on the bus. Her bus driver, Ms. Jamie Splawn, won a free meal for 2 at Cracker Barrel!
