Lessons & Carols and Pajama Day on the Horizon As We Countdown to ChristmasWe 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 Continue at BESBES students are participating in a daily Advent Wreath lighting and ceremony during the month of December. The ceremonies take place at 8:05 a.m. in the McCormick Hall courtyard and include a reading, reflection, and prayer. The Advent Wreath lighting and ceremony replaces lower school chapel on December 16 and replaces the Flag Ceremony on December 13. We will not have Advent Wreath ceremonies on Wednesdays; we will participate in all-school chapels as usual on December 18. Parents are encouraged to join us each morning for the Advent ceremonies. Donate to the Starfish Fund and Win a Free Pizza Party for Your Student's ClassUPDATE: Congratulations to Mrs. T's second grade class, who just reached 100% parent participation in the Starfish Fund. They will enjoy a Free Pizza Party from Jumpin' Jax House of Food in January! Sixth grade has already reached this milestone, and your student's class could be next! If you haven't given to the BES Starfish Fund, now is the perfect time. We have extended the date for you to donate to the Starfish Fund for the Free Pizza Party opportunity to December 20.
