Mrs. Ryals and Mrs. Charles's class had a productive and relaxing day of book tasting at Starbooks Cafe. Students looked through several books about different animals they learned about in science earlier this year. At the end, they enjoyed refreshments while deciding on the animal they wanted to use for a research project, informational book, and presentation. Great job!

Kathy Church, with Smithgall Woods, visited with 4th Grade students today at BCES! Students learned about different ecosystems as a preview to the unit they will begin soon. This program was provided by the Banks County Public Library Outreach Program. Thank you, Stacy Krumnow, for supporting our students at BCES! 
  

Today, our BCES family gathered together to remember, to honor, and to pay gratitude to those who have served our country. Our gathering was just one small token of appreciation for those brave enough to earn the title Veteran. It’s not a lot, but it’s one small way we can honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live in freedom. Thank you to Miss Duncan and the 5th graders for your wonderful performance. Thank you to the JROTC for your help with our program, and thank you parents and Veterans for attending today.
