MLK Week of Service Canned Food Drive: We will be rising up to fight hunger by hosting a canned food drive at BES. Cans will be collected in classrooms beginning 1/20/26.
REMINDER: In MCPS, outdoor recess should be canceled when the temperature is 20 degrees Fahrenheit or colder with a wind speed of 10 miles per hour or more, otherwise, we go out to play. Please help our children be prepared for the weather by wearing coats and bringing hats and gloves when needed ( label everything!) We appreciate your support in ensuring our students are safe and warm!
