Being a Mountaineer means being responsible, safe and respectful. Merits are given out each month by BES staff and bus drivers to celebrate BES Mountaineers who demonstrate these traits. These students are given merits that are deposited in the Mountaineer Merit container found in the main hallway.
 
Principal Kent and Assistant Principal Cataldo draw ten merit recipients (five from kindergarten to second grade and five from third to fifth grade) who receive a prize.
 
This year there is also a monthly Character Counts award recipients selected by classroom teachers and announced during the monthly assemblies.
This month the awards were announced at the end of the Veterans Day assembly.
 
Congratulations to November’s Award recipients! Go Mountaineers!
