Nurse Susan (Billingsville campus nurse): Known by the students as “Dr. Love”…this name truly fits Nurse Susan. She not only takes care of our students’ (and staff members’) physical needs but everyone’s emotional needs as well. She is always smiling, is always positive, and always has a kind word or positive statement for EVERYONE! She was a plethora of wisdom while we were in the middle of the pandemic, and we don’t know how BCE would have understood what was going on with COVID-19 had it not been for her knowledge.
Mr. McBride (Third Grade Teacher): Mr. McBride makes his students feel so special and gives them a love for school and learning. He truly cares about his students and has this special way of making learning fun yet challenging them to continue growing in their education. His positive energy is contagious and has definitely made a difference for this school year. Our family can’t thank Mr. McBride enough for the support, encouragement and love for learning he has given our kids this school year! He is truly one-of-a-kind and so deserving of this award!
To celebrate, each of you will receive a gift card to your favorite store and from local partner, The Butler’s Pantry. Thanks for helping to make BCE such a special place!
