Employee Excellence at BRES

Last night our 2nd grade team was honored by Superintendent Tata and the WCPSS Board of Education for demonstrating excellence for their high functioning team work. The team utilizes data consistently in their decision making process to guide their instruction. Additionally, the team crafts lessons and assessments to maximize student learning during our school wide Team Time. Congratulations to Ms. Torrey, Ms. Johnson, Ms. Vaughn, Ms. Reed, Ms. Parker, and Mr. Bethel for their outstanding work as a professional learning team (PLT) and for demonstrating excellence in all that they do. Look at the great picture of our team below and follow this link for more information about the special night http://www.wcpss.net/announcements2/2012/05/school-system-honors-21-with-employee-excellence-awards/ .

Spring Carnival was fun!

Our wonderful PTA sponsored the 2nd Annual Spring Carnival this past Friday evening.  There were games for all ages, food, Spirit Wear for sale, face painting, and the silent auction.  The real "hit" of the night was the Dunk Tank!  Thank you to all of the teachers for volunteering to get dunked in cold--ice cold water all for BRES!  Mr. Tart, Ms. Arthur, Ms. Stephenson, Mr. Capps, Mrs. Hall, and Ms. Blackmon all were dunked dozens of times by our students!!  The students absolutely loved it and they are still talking about it today.  I made my way to the Dunk Tank late in the evening.  Check out the before and after shots of my first dunk below. It was cold water!

More pictures of the carnival to come....including some of the teachers getting dunked!  Thanks again for coming out and spending the evening with us at BRES!  We appreciate your support!

Teacher of the Year 2011-2012

Last Thursday night I was able to see Ms. Glasgow be honored for the wonderful work she does on a daily basis in her classroom.  Ms. Glasgow was nominated in November by the BRES staff to serve as our Teacher of the Year for 2011-2012.  The students, parent and staff at BRES all know how deserving Ms. Glasgow is of this honor.  Congratulations again Ms. Glasgow!

The Spring Carnival is HERE!

Tonight is the night!  The PTA and volunteers have worked hard to prepare for the Spring Carnival.  Set up will begin in the 3 o'clock hour and by 5:00 our grounds will be transformed into a carnival of fun!  Bring out your family, play some games, dunk a teacher in the dunk tank, participate in the cake walk...all in support of BRES.

Parking will be limited and we cannot park in the soccer fields.  Please call the school or visit the PTA website for more information.  Don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity for family fun!

DQ was a cool treat & more

The PTA selected a great Spirit Night location!  The Fuquay Varina Dairy Queen was busy around 6:30 p.m. tonight as many of our families came in for ice cream or made it through the drive-thru.  I could not have asked for a more beautiful evening to sit down, enjoy a cold ice cream treat (caramel sundae with pecans) and just visit with our families.  It was great to see the cars pull up, windows roll down and student's heads pop out waving in excitement.  Thank you for coming out and support BRES tonight.  We have the best school community!

If you weren't able to get to the DQ tonight it's ok.  You will have another chance tomorrow night.  We have a second DQ Spirit Night on Thursday.  Come on out for some ice cream and support BRES.

Don't forget it's Spring Carnival time. The PTA has been busy preparing for the annual event that will take place this Friday.  There will be food, games, and fun!  We are expecting a great turn out and I hope you will join us on Friday evening. 

Our busy week...

I hope you are ready for fun!  BRES has two PTA Spirit Nights and the Carnival this week.  Come out to the Fuquay Varina Dairy Queen, grab a bite to eat or a cold ice cream and visit with the BRES school community on Wednesday and Thursday.  I will be at the DQ on Wednesday in the evening. Please be sure to mention BRES when you place your order.

 On Friday our campus will be turned into a CARNIVAL.  Our PTA has planned activities, games, music, and food vendors for the event.  The hot spot at the carnival is sure to be the Dunk Tank.  Please be sure to stop by and try to dunk the teachers from BRES!  There will be something for everyone to enjoy.  Parking will be limited and we can not park on the soccer fields.  We encourage families to carpool if possible.  The rear portion and the two side parking lots will be available. 

Friday is also our last Common Core Parent Information Session for the school year.  The session will be held from 8:15-8:45 a.m. in the Media Center. Additional sessions will be held in July/August for the new school year. Please call the Front Office to reserve your seat and a hand out.
