Happy Administrative Professionals Day to Mrs. Hoene and Miss Leigh!
From the moment you walk through our doors to the end of each busy day, these two keep everything running smoothly. They are the first smiles our students and families see, the steady support our staff counts on, and the calm in the middle of the chaos. There is so much that happens behind the scenes because of them, and our school is better every single day because of their care, organization, and heart for kids.
Mrs. Hoene and Miss Leigh, thank you for all you do for our BES family. We are lucky to have you and so proud you are part of the Brave Way!
