Our 2nd graders had an amazing visit with Charlotte-based author, Tameka Fryer Brown. Ms. Brown shared her journey to becoming an author, read her new book, “Not Done Yet: Shirley Chisholm’s Fight for Change,” and taught students about the book publishing process. Our very own IB Coordinator, Ms. Pointer, also joined in the fun helping Ms. Brown perform her book, “Twelve Dinging Doorbells.” Thank you, Ms. Brown for sharing your time, talents, and inspiring our students! For more information about Tameka Fryer Brown and her books, visit her website at https://tamekafryerbrown.com.

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!”
