I’ve always loved BES, but we’re moving to a different county for the 2019/2020 school year. I didn’t realize how great this school truly is until we started looking at others. Everything from recess time, indoor ‘play’ time, the rotation of extra curriculars, and the methods used to teach the children here is unbeatable.
