BSE celebrated International Dot Day yesterday. Mrs. McBride worked with her classes to create a dot mural. Staff members also dressed up in polka dots in honor of the day. International Dot Day was inspired by Peter Reynolds' picture book The Dot. It is a day to encourage people of all ages to celebrate their creativity.
Two BSE students danced at the Newberry County Humane Society's Mocktail Pawty fundraising event last night with their dance studio, Griffin School of Dance. You both did a great job Bailey and Elizabeth!
Our Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Brande Fanara, and our Support Staff of the Year, Mrs. Misty Heydeck, were honored tonight at the 2023-2024 Celebration of Educational Excellence. Mrs. Fanara was also honored as the Runner-up District Teacher of the Year. We are so proud of both of these educators and are very fortunate to have them at BSE.
