BES is holding our first "Spill the Tea" parent event. “Spill the Tea” is an event for parents to come and spend time with their child in the media center. During this event, parents will have an opportunity to learn about certain literacy skills and standards that are part of the school’s curriculum. This event is meant as a learning experience where parents will hopefully be able to gain more information about our school literacy plan and curriculum. Parents are encouraged to come, enjoy, learn, and ask questions to gain more insight on their child’s educational journey. We want to help you make your child successful! We are a team! This event will last about an hour. If you have any additional questions, please call 229-686-2939.
