Congrats to BES Bucky Belters who put on an incredible show last night in the Berlin Christmas Parade and received 1st Place in the school category for their performance along with the beautiful BES Float built by our PTA!

The State Champion SDHS Seahawks were in the house this morning! Students congratulated the team with high fives and former Bucky Bears were asked to sign autographs on player cards that were made with their BES 4th grade graduation pictures. Close to half the team is made up of former Bucky Bears!
