BCEL students were welcomed with a festive St. Patrick’s Day surprise this morning! Our incredible PTO set up these fantastic inflatables to get our little leprechauns in the spirit. A huge thank you to the PTO for bringing extra fun and excitement to our school! 🍀💚
BCEL is incredibly fortunate to have the most amazing PTO! Today, they went above and beyond to spoil us with their thoughtful "Whoot Whoot Wagon," delivering drinks and gifts to all of our staff. We had the joy of choosing a favorite drink and a fun classroom supply, delivered right to us with smiles and kindness. We are truly grateful for our phenomenal PTO and all they do to support our staff, students, families, and the entire community. Your dedication and generosity make such a meaningful impact, and we can’t thank you enough. Thank you, BCEL/PR PTO — we appreciate you more than words can express!
Stack, Flip, Play: Ms. Evans Brings Cup Stacking Fun to BCEL!
BCEL students are flipping, stacking, and racing their way to excitement in PE class with Ms. Evans! She’s introduced a high-energy cup stacking unit that’s turning the gym into a hub of teamwork, coordination, and friendly competition. From building towering cup pyramids to mastering rapid-fire stacking sequences, students are not only sharpening their motor skills but also learning the power of patience and persistence.
Laughter fills the room as kids cheer each other on, hands flying as they try to beat their best times. Whether they’re working solo or in teams, every stack and collapse brings a new challenge to conquer — and plenty of smiles along the way. Thanks to Ms. Evans, PE at BCEL is stacking up to be a blast!
Exciting news at BCEL — we have a new addition to our school community! Meet Kleo, the bearded dragon, who joined us this week. Thanks to the dedication and initiative of Ms. Stacie, our wonderful nature paraprofessional, Kleo now has a comfortable, fully equipped habitat, made possible through a successful grant she wrote.
Kleo’s home is on a mobile cart, allowing Ms. Stacie to bring him to different classrooms throughout the day for special visits. He’s already settling in nicely and has been impressing everyone with his calm and friendly demeanor.
Welcome to BCEL, Kleo! We’re thrilled to have you as part of our family!
