Good Morning, Bowers Families! Bus 3 will be about 15 minutes late this morning due to a car blocking the road. Thank you for understanding!

Good Evening, Bowers Families! This is a reminder that beginning of the year paperwork should be turned in tomorrow. Additionally, if your child is in grades K-3 and they want to attend the dance camp on Saturday with the Sweethearts and Boyz, they need to turn in their permission slip and $30 by tomorrow morning to their classroom teacher. We hope you have a great evening!
We have a saying here at Bowers that all students are our students. What does that mean? When a student, no matter whose class they're in, needs help, love, attention, or support, we all jump in and do what we can when we are able. On Monday, a sweet Kindergarten student was nervous about getting on the bus. It was new. It was scary. Ms. Makayla Harrison, who was on bus duty at the time, could see that the student was struggling with this new procedure. Without hesitation, she hopped on the bus with the student and provided much needed comfort and support...until they arrived at the next stop where the student had a friend hop on, and Ms. Makayla got booted from her seat! We are blessed at Bowers to have staff members willing to do what it takes for students. Thank you, Ms. Makayla, for being an example of what it means to be the BESt!
Don’t forget! Our first PTO meeting of the year will be this afternoon, Monday, August 12, at 5:30 PM in the library. We hope you will join us!
Good Morning, BES Families!
