We had our 1st 9 weeks behavior reward today! Students enjoyed three 30 minute rotations of dodge ball, street dance, and kick ball. Students who had 0 steps for the whole 9 weeks were able to wear a hat and were entered into a drawing for an additional prize. Way to go BCES students! 

Jayda Holcombe is our Bus Rider of the Month for September! She was able to choose a prize for this accomplishment. Her driver, Rachel Smith, is our BCES Bus Driver of the month and will receive a dinner for two at Chef's Touch Bistro in Cornelia, GA. Congratulations!
