Empathy Quote of the Week :
"Empathy is the faculty to resonate with the feelings of others. When we meet someone who is joyful, we smile. When we witness someone in pain, we suffer in resonance with his or her suffering."
Did you know???
Students can fall behind if they miss a day or two every few weeks.
Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school every day and on time!
Wishing you all a wonderful 3-day weekend!

Yearbook: If you have pictures to share from Ice Cream Social, class field trips or Halloween please do share! Create a log-in and upload your pix to: https://link.entourageyear
Amazon Smiles: If you haven't signed up already just go to www.smile.amazon.com You do not have to have a student enrolled at BCE to sign-up so be sure to tell family and friends to sign-up too! This does not work on the Amazon app on your phone, so order on your phone and then log into your amazon smiles account online to give the school a credit. Amazon gave over $400 to BCE last year through this program.
Box tops: You can help the school by collecting box tops! There are drop boxes in every classroom as well as one in the office. They are collected monthly. We will be combining November and December though, due to the holiday breaks in each month. The class with the most boxtops collected for the month of October will receive a pizza party so stayed tuned for the announcement of the winner! Proceeds go for P.E. equipment. In the past we have made over $1,000, so start collecting because it really does add up. Ask your friends and family to help as well!
Facebook Group: Join our Facebook group by e-mailing us at bcepc.execs@gmail.com This is a private group so you must be invited and have a student enrolled in order to be a member. It is a great forum to ask questions, receive announcements and stay involved.
