BES Christmas Joy Video Released for School CommunityIn the spirit of Christmas, we want to share what has become a bit of an annual tradition, the BES Christmas Joy video. It's filled with images of your wonderful students sharing love with those around them this year. We thank you for being part of our school family, and we hope you experience the joy of the season with the ones you love as we celebrate the birth of our Savior who brought joy to the world. Join Us for Memorable Christmas Events in DecemberWe are counting down the days until Christmas, but we would like to welcome our parents to many wonderful events happening here at BES in the month of December. Lessons and Carols Service Pajama Day/Storytime/Classroom Parties Advent Wreath Ceremonies at BESBES students are participating in a daily Advent Wreath lighting and ceremony during the month of December. The ceremonies take place in the McCormick Hall courtyard and include a reading, reflection, and prayer. The Advent Wreath lighting and ceremony replaces lower school chapel on December 2, 9, and 16 and replaces Flag Ceremonies on December 6 and 13. We will not have Advent Wreath ceremonies on Wednesdays; we will participate in all-school chapels as usual on December 11 and 18. Parents are encouraged to join us each morning during the Advent ceremonies.
