Yearbook
Yearbooks are permanent keepsakes. Students will flip through the printed pages of their yearbooks, ask friends and teachers for their autographs and to share stories.Volunteers take photos and design the sections of the yearbook.
Field Day
Field Day gives everyone something to mark an important time in the year with and something to look forward to! Field Day can be used to teach about healthy competition and sportsmanship.
Student Incentives & Events
Fundraising prizes, class parties, dances, assemblies, and more! The interactions and conversations during events help students build relationships, understand different perspectives and engage other cultures. Social events provide an opportunity to expand one's circle.
Library Support
Volunteers help in the library by checking in books, shelving book returns, setting up and breaking down book fairs, labeling, etc. This allows our Librarian to focus on our children and help them pick out the right books!
Masterpiece Art
Volunteers present prepared lessons on famous Artists and guide students through creating pieces of art. Art is an integral part of life and this program is a chance to stimulate the students' thought, perception and imagination.

Junior Achievement helps students understand the importance of entrepreneurship, managing money, and preparing for college or a career. JA gives students an advantage by providing real world opportunities and skills not taught in schools. JA helps you answer important life questions.
Hospitality
We love our BBE Teachers and Staff!Teachers who receive regular recognition and praise are more productive, more engaged, and more likely to stay with their school! Along with providing breakfasts/lunches throughout the year, we pop popcorn for the staff every Friday.
Watch D.O.G.S.
Dads Of Great Students!While the Watch DOGS program is not specifically a PTO program, we do endorse it! It is a great way for dads, and any male relatives and role models, from grandpas to uncles to big brothers, to get involved. The students LOVE to see important adults around school!
