We are thankful for local high school administrators who allow their students to come to Belwood and bless our kids!
Gordon Central High school students performed "A Charlie Brown Christmas" for 4th and 5th graders at Belwood yesterday. It was such a treat!
The Awesome and Amazing Belwood Singers blessed many today with their angelic voices. They sang at Walmart, North GA National Bank, The Fountains Retirement Home, and Shaw’s Retirement reception. If anyone took pictures please send to us or add here:)
Mr. Jose Mendoza from Ms. Albritton's class stopped by to visit Calhoun's Snowman Spectacular and sent us this awesome picture! We encourage you to do so, too!
See if you can find the special snowman that represents Belwood Elementary!
It is located at the Calhoun Recreation Department on 110 Recreation Drive, Calhoun, GA.
Our Snowman needs a name! Do you have a suggestion? Post in the comments below!
More Christmas Magic!
Belwood's 11 days of Christmas are a BIG hit! We just love having fun:)
Lots of Elf magic happening right now!

This guy! This guy right here went to the Secret Santa shop yesterday and instead of buying gifts for his family or himself, he took the money and bought gifts for some younger students who were in there at the same time as he was. Wow. They must have thought Santa got younger and lost his white beard. BIG shout out to Miguel Manuel Bail for his generous, loving, kind, patient and ginormous heart!
We should all live like Miguel!
Zoe Martin and Abigail Bledsoe were Caught Being Good recently when they decided to pick up trash on the playground without being asked to do so. What if more people did this? The world would certainly be a better place!
Congratulations girls for being Rock Star leaders at Belwood!

Detective Fox and Corporal Pullen from Gordon County Sheriff's Department brought their Ghillie suit, years of experience and courage to Belwood's Kindergarten Career Day last week. Although concerned about sharing information with a bunch of little people, these two performed like the CHAMPS that they are and the students were so excited to see them. Detective Fox and Corporal Pullen walked away (more like ran) without being hand cuffed or tased by aforementioned small children so we think that is a victory for all involved! #winning
Thank you two for being such good sports and for elevating students' comfort level in interacting with adult professionals.

Students don’t just learn from their teachers. Community members and leaders can play a vital role in a student’s education. Kindergarten Career Day provided a platform where Belwood students could directly interact with members of their community.
Having a diverse group of presenters allows students to see themselves represented in different career paths. Thank you Capt. Trammell for serving as role model and mentor for our students.
So thankful for Community Partners in Education who take time out of their busy work day to come to Belwood to nurture career exploration and help students discover careers they may not have imagined. Shown here are Lt. Ron Chance,
Lt. Greg Hasty and FF Aaron King.

Last week Belwood Kindergarteners had visitors from our Community come and help students make the connection between school and the workplace. Sonoraville High School CTAE Construction Pathway Instructor Butch Burch even partnered with representatives from Home Depot in an amazing collaboration that resulted in some pretty spectacular tool boxes that may or may not be used by some future construction workers! Belwood is proud to enable students to begin identifying areas of career interest with the help of our Community Partners in Education!
It’s that time of the year again! Next week we will begin our Holiday Gift Shop.
Belwood Elementary School is participating in the Snowman Spectacular sponsored by the Gordon County Chamber of Commerce. All snowmen are on display at the Calhoun Recreation Department.
