Here's the winners from each grade with their certificate and gift card to Nona and Pops! 5k: Solomon, 1st Grade: Linkin, 2nd Grade: Elizabeth, 3rd: Khatari, 4th Grade: Brandon, 5th Grade: Patricia Way to go Bulldogs! 🐾💙🌟
We are also #ThankfulAtBusbee for our Principal, Mr. Matthews. Mr. Matthews makes us laugh everyday and always has a positive outlook for us to consider. We are so blessed to have him at Busbee 🐾💙
We hope all our Busbee families are enjoying your Thanksgiving! Here's a few "turkey projects" that our 4k-1st grade students worked on this year! #ThankfulAtBusbee 🐾💙🦃
Next for #ThankfulAtBusbee is our PTO who does so much for us!
This week they provided our soup/grilled cheese lunch and all the fixings. They also worked with Ms. Jackie Busbee to sponsor the pies. 🥧🍴
Last week, they sponsored and worked the ice cream party for all of our students as a reward for meeting our goal for the Spooky to Be Hungry Food Drive 🍦🥫
Big hugs to our Busbee PTO! We are thankful for you!
We at Busbee have some catching up to do on our posting, and Thanksgiving Break is the perfect time for that! We are going to try to post 24 things (since it's 2024) we are thankful for over the break!
Be sure to look for #ThankfulAtBusbee posts over the next five days 💙🐾
