BES Family, the Big Kahuna is coming to an end! Please make sure all packets and payments are turned into the office asap. If you have more than one child participating, you can combine all order forms and money into one family pack.
No need to turn in packet if all orders were done online. Good news! The ONLINE ordering will remain available through the 27th. If your child needs to sell those last few items to earn the party bus field trip they still have time!
Please call the office if you have any questions.

🚍✨ It's National School Bus Safety Week! (Oct 20-24) ✨🚍
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s NHTSA reminds all drivers to slow down and stay alert around school buses. Remember, passing a school bus is illegal and can be deadly for kids.
🛑 When you see flashing red lights and a stop arm extended, you MUST come to a complete stop. This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s the law!
🔶 Yellow lights mean the bus is getting ready to stop. Slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle. You can only move once the red lights are off and the bus is moving again.
Stay aware of the “Danger Zone”—the area around the bus where children are most at risk, including:
-10 feet in front of the bus
-10 feet on either side of the bus
-Behind the bus
Let’s work together to keep our children safe! For more info on school bus safety, visit: NHTSA School Bus Safety - https://www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety/school-bus-safety....
