These students were selected by their teachers for demonstrating the concept of "PATIENCE" during the month of April.
"Patience: Waiting until later for what you want now" !
Many adults struggle with this positive character trait, so KUDOS to these kids for learning self-control at an early age!

Today, May 1, is School Principals' Day.
Monica Holt, we APPRECIATE you!
Much of the important work that Mrs. Holt does is behind the scenes. She quietly manages school budgets, school programs, extracurricular activities, paperwork, and much, much more.
She also oversees communications with families and the community. She supports staff and students, all the while continually providing leadership and encouragement each and every day.
Did you know the average principal spends 59 hours a week working? With the wide range of responsibilities a principal has, the role requires a strong leader in order to be effective.
And we are blessed with the BESt!
YOU are LOVED Mrs. Holt!

Don't forget the parent meeting for Red Bud Middle school tonight at 5:30 in the RBMS gym!

Belwood Elementary recently held a Volunteer Appreciation luncheon for the many people who help serve the students and community of BES. These volunteers included community members who participated this year as Lunch Buddies, were members of the School Governance Team, helped with GET Reading, served meals for staff, provided monetary donations, acted as student mentors, and donated essentials for students.
Thank you to all community members of Belwood Elementary! It certainly takes a village, and everyone coming together in collaboration to help students and the school makes a difference!
Belwood Elementary invites parents of students entering Kindergarten for the 24-25 school year to attend our parent meeting to gain ideas on how to help your child prepare for the transition to Kindergarten.
Contact Jennifer Pulliam @ jpulliam@gcbe.org or 706-629-9547for more information.

Today we celebrate Administrative Professionals' Day.
I want to celebrate Amy Morris and Melisa Rodriguez. They are the face of Belwood Elementary. We are so grateful for their hard work, professionalism, and positive attitude. They support students, parents, and teachers as well as keep our office running smoothly each day. We couldn't do it without you!
You are both SO loved!
Mrs. Holt
Please let these ladies know how much we appreciate them!

Gordon Central High School's Teaching as a Profession teacher, Mrs. Kodi Albright, visited Belwood Elementary's PAL program with her students in Mrs. Jessica Childers' classroom today.
Mrs. Albright's students prepared lessons to work with the 3-4 year old students on counting, number identification, and many other activities. These students have worked on created number cards, thematic counting books, sensory bags to practice number-writing, and lesson plans connecting these activities with standards and best teaching practices.
Students will return later in the week to work on reading activities with their little partners!
Thank you to the Calhoun-Gordon County Retired Educators Association for their donation to allow these day trips for Gordon Central students, and Mrs. Albright is very appreciative of Mrs. Childers and Belwood Elementary for allowing her students to have such a great learning opportunity.
