Belwood Elementary School

How about two Belwood Alumni came this morning to welcome our littlest learners in car rider line! Madeline and McKenzie took a stroll down memory lane as they said good morning to our pajama and hat wearing students. Thank you girls for representing not only GC chorus well, but also Belwood! Come back again soon:) #TogetherBES #TogetherGCS #GordonCountySchools #belwoodfamily #BuildingExceptionalStudents

In case you don't have any plans for this long weekend, enjoy this picture of Brady Hansard fishing in St. George Island, Florida. Brady said the fish he caught was as big as a car, but he didn't send that picture. Hmmmmmm.......... It's not too late to make your reservations:)

Hey Belwood family! Tomorrow is the last day to order class t-shirts. Shirts will be worn on special days at school, field trips, and more. You can send it in tomorrow with cash or check, or go online to take care of it.

Emiliano and Sebastian Gurrola went to Gatlinburg Tennessee during their summer vacation! As you can see, they had a fabulous time TOGETHER! #TogetherBES #TogetherGCS #GordonCountySchools #belwoodfamily

Most parents know about the importance of play for their children to develop essential life skills. But did you know about the importance of play for grown-ups, too? Playing improves your relationships. Laughing and having fun with others can foster empathy, compassion, trust and even relieves stress, all at the same time! So Belwood family, grab your kids and everyone else you can find and go outside and have some fun, like these ladies! Be like Lisa and Donna, who clearly know what is good for them:) TOGETHER we can stay healthy, mentally and physically! #TogetherBES #TogetherGCS #GordonCountySchools #belwoodfamily

Belwood’s Student Leadership team received a very important civic lesson yesterday when Detective Fox of the Gordon County Sheriff’s Dept. demonstrated proper flag folding, carrying and flying protocol, along with a few history lessons and some fun facts ❤️ The students were able to ask questions, practice and then demonstrate their newly acquired skills! Thank you Detective Fox for going above and beyond the call of duty! TOGETHER we excel! #belwoodfamily #TogetherBES #TogetherGCS

Belwood's Spirit Committee "kicked off" our year with a tailgate party Friday. Everyone loved getting TOGETHER to enjoy lots and lots and lots of delicious food! Thank you Kindergarten for planning the event! #belwoodfamily #TogetherBES #TogetherGCS #GordonCountySchools

Ms. Stephania Hyde's first grade classroom is having fun AND learning all at the same time! Using counters to create combinations of ten allows kids to discover those combinations on their own in a fun and exciting way. And the systematic and explicit teaching of phonics ensures that every student is learning essential skills to develop advanced readers:) #belwoodfamily #TogetherBES #TogetherGCS #GordonCountySchools

Students in Ms. Bailie Greeson's music class read the book We Will Rock Our Classmates and talked about talents they each had. Everyone is good at something. Each student then created a picture based on their talents. Look at these amazing creations! Belwood certainly has talented teachers and students! #belwoodfamily #TogetherBES #TogetherGCS #GordonCountySchools

Thank you to the Gordon Central volleyball team for greeting students at Belwood's morning car drop-off line! It's always great to show school spirit and great attitudes to start the day off right at BES. Team members were also at W.L. Swain and Tolbert Elementary. #TogetherGCS

Reading is FUN, especially when you can chill with your friends while doing it:) #TogetherBES #TogetherGCS #GordonCountySchools #belwoodfamily
