It was a beautiful day for a Bessie Coleman Carnival. We were so happy to see so many of our families gathered together enjoying the sunshine! Thank you to all the volunteers - parents, grandparents, siblings, high schoolers, and more - who made this event successful!

And that's a wrap on the 23-24 school year at Bessie Coleman Elementary. There were smiles and tears as we said our goodbyes today. (And, thanks to Mr. Fischer, we remembered to be silly too!)

Have a wonderful summer, Aviators! We can't wait to see you again in the fall.

Thanks to a wonderful community donor, we have a new feature in our gym - a rock wall! Kids are getting to try it out during PE learning how to traverse this fun new obstacle!

UPDATE: school is now canceled for Thursday, January 18.

UPDATE: Because weather conditions have not improved, school is cancelled today, January 18, 2024, and the district is closed. All evening events will continue as scheduled.

We are disappointed to have another closure day, and we know this impacts our staff, students, and families. Our transportation staff drove around this morning, and our side streets and sidewalks are just not ready for our staff, families, and students to travel safely.
