During January’s Character Education Assembly students who went above and beyond to model December’s character traits of empathy, being able to understand how someone feels, and compassion, wanting to help someone or something in need, were January’s Character Counts award recipients. Character Count recipients are selected by their classroom teachers to receive the monthly awards.
January’s character trait at BES has been fairness, when everyone gets what they need to be successful.
The Character Education team helped to elaborate on fairness through different skits and the visual below.
Congratulations Mountaineers!

Merit Winners
Mountaineer Merits are awarded throughout the month for being responsible, safe and respectful. Elementary and Transportation staff award merit tickets to celebrate Mountaineers who demonstrate these traits. The students then deposit their merit into 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) each month to receive recognition and a prize at the conclusion of each assembly.
