The PTA ensures a thriving community for students, teachers and staff. Hear from 3rd grade teacher Mr. McBride on what it means to him:
“The best part of BCE is how bonded the school and community are. Our wonderful PTA is the keystone to that connection. In my almost 10 years teaching at BCE, I have seen all the wonderful hard work and dedication parents have given to help our students and school. The incredible afterschool events that are planned, funded, and hosted have made so many great memories for our children and community. The volunteer work the PTA does in school and in our classrooms enriches the students’ school experience. The teachers and staff are eternally grateful for the communication and support we get within the classroom and through training opportunities that help us be more effective at our job. Our PTA hast truly made a huge impact to our school and made BCE an excellent place to be!”

Thanks to everyone who has participated. Your contributions enable the PTA to support a thriving community for students, teachers and staff. But don’t take our word for it, hear from kindergarten teacher Ms. Cottom:
“I would like to take the time to say thanks to our wonderful PTA for its hard work and dedication to our students and staff. Your support does not go unnoticed. As the year began you provided funds for teachers to supplement their classrooms. The opportunity to apply for grants also is a tremendous help to provide more enriching and engaging lessons to our students. Because of our turfed playgrounds, there are more chances for outdoor recess, which allows for our students to be balanced. As a staff we appreciate your thoughtfulness for meals, snacks, and other treats on special days. These are just a few of your many contributions to our school community that make the BCE family so special. Thanks!”
