March’s character trait at BES was perseverance, which is defined as never giving up even when something is hard. Throughout the month Mountaineers who have met goals they have set for themselves were asked to take a photo to mark their success. These goals ranged from finishing a challenging book, being a good friend, to mastering multiplication facts. During the assembly the Character Education Committee explained to the Mountaineers that one of the most exciting parts of setting a goal is that once it is accomplished, you can set a new one and keep climbing.
Great work Mountaineers!
During the assembly Mountaineers who demonstrated February’s character trait of self-respect; treating yourself the way you would treat a friend, always with kindness, were recognized with Character Counts Awards. Character Count recipients are selected by classroom teachers.
Congratulations Mountaineers!

March’s Restorative Rock Star
Mrs. Ballard is new to the district this year, but you would never know that. She always comes to school with a smile on her face and is ready to greet all of those around her. Not only has she embraced our school culture, but she tailors her lessons to meet the needs of her students. She makes learning both fun and exciting for all in her classroom.
