Students to Make Fleece Blankets for Those in Need During First "Make a Difference Monday" on Sept. 10thIn an effort to provide meaningful service opportunities for your children, BES has now implemented "Make a Difference Mondays" on the first Monday of every month. There will be a dedicated time during the school day for the children to engage in a service project that will affect their community. On Monday, September 10th students will partner with their buddy classes to make fleece blankets to give to those who are sick or in need. Other projects for later in the school year will include making cards to send to the children at our sister church in Cuba, making cards to send to our service men and women, Christmas caroling at a local assisted living facility, and others. If you would like to help with any of our projects, please don't hesitate to let your homebase teacher know. They would love to have an extra set of hands.

The first such Free Dress day is Friday, August 31st, and those with birthdays in both July and August may dress in nice or casual dress. Birthday dress might include denim and a nice sports tee shirt or dressy outfits that typically can't be worn on uniform days. Avoid "grunge" type clothing, strapless tops, and tee shirts with inappropriate graphics. Rubber soled shoes should still be worn. |
