Last week we had a wonderful visit from Ms. Judy Peterson, Executive Assistant with Keep Calhoun- Gordon Beautiful, and a group of volunteers from Republic Services. Their mission is to promote beautification , recycling and litter prevention.
During their visit to BES, they had the opportunity to read and talk with our third grade classes. Ms. Peterson said, "They were a delightful group to be with and their knowledge of litter,
recycling , composting and natural resources was impressive"!
The particular project that brought them to Belwood was an extension of their litter education committee, which we began in early February, 2023. Their goal was to offer the book, All the Way to the Ocean, to every third grader in
Gordon County. Thanks to generous donations from many contributors they were able to purchase the beautiful, hardback books and, as of December 11, they have distributed over 750 books. Belwood appreciates their had work and dedication in helping to educate us in ways we can reduce our carbon footprint!
Belwood's LSGT (Local School Governance Team) meeting originally scheduled for Wednesday, January 17th at 7 am will be rescheduled for Wednesday, January 31st at 7 am. Thank you!

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!

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!
