Ariadna Olivares-Orellana, in Ms. Shipley's homeroom, wanted to spend her extra Classroom Dojo points to help Mrs. Holt with morning announcements today! She did a great job and Mrs. Holt is thinking of hiring her as an announcement sub:). Way to go Ariadna!
So, somebody got all the creative genes in her family! Look at these cool "Jolly Jar" ideas!
Wow! Just WOW!
This week during our Bus Safety Presentation, Abby Bryant and Owen Richardson were Caught being Good by showing exceptional Belwood Bright Behavior! They were actively listening, being respectful and following directions. Such great leadership qualities for students so young:). We are very proud of these kids and all kids who demonstrate Belwood's Bright Behavior on a daily basis!
Mr. Javier Castro, a student in Ms. Albritton's room, "cashed" in some Class Dojo points to he could assist Mrs. Holt during morning announcements! He did a fabulous job and we see public speaking in his future!
And the Most Creative Jolly Jar Award goes to this family!
I am pretty sure every Mom around the world has said this at some point.
Well, here ya go:)

The BES Principal's Book Club is a program designed to encourage reading and literacy development. This program began in 2019 in honor of Mrs. Phyllis Purdy, a retired teacher and literacy advocate. The development of early literacy skills is a key to the development of a student and his/her success in life. Mrs. Holt encourages students to read at least 15 minutes each day. Research shows that students who read 15 minutes or more daily will see accelerated reading gains, and students who read 30 minutes or more a day will see the greatest gains of all. Parents, please join us by encouraging your child to read ad fall in love with a good book.
Shown here are Mrs. Holt and Mr. Fox giving out It's Pumpkin Day, Mouse!, Junior Monster Scouts, and Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type.
Our first "JOLLY JARS" (formally known as gift jars) have arrived at Belwood! We have a small Christmas village, a Jeep duck jar and some Christmas potpourri ready for Winterfest. If your family is able, please send in at least one Jolly Jar donation.
Special shout out to the very creative idea of renaming the gift jars from a Belwood supporter!
