Congratulations to all of our athletes who competed at today's annual Elementary Track Meet at Schwarzman Stadium! This event serves as another opportunity for our 4th and 5th graders to gather with their peers from the other elementary schools before they transition to the Middle School, all while engaging in a day of friendly competition.
CB rocked the competition at the annual track meet. Both the gold and green team showed their skills on the field. We are so proud of them all! GO CB!

Mrs. McGettigan's kindergarten class had Ms. Stokes as their mystery reader. They loved listening to her read, and having her spend time in their classroom!
Halloween at CB was a blast! Students had a fabulous parade in the morning followed by celebrations throughout the day.
Fun Friday!
Here's a look back at some of the fun that was had at CB this week. From wearing pink to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month, to enjoying the beautiful Fall weather, the students and staff at CB have been having a great school year!

Today was the first meeting of the school year for the Superintendent's Student Advisory Council, in which two representatives from each school routinely meet with Dr. Fecher and Dr. Melchor to share their thoughts and experiences from across the district. Dr. Fecher also gave the students an assignment to go to their peers and ask for any feedback that should be brought to the next council meeting. #ASDProud
Fall buddy activities are the best! Mrs. Cashman's second grade class spent time with Mrs. McGettigan's kindergarten class talking about some Fall Pumpkin Math.
Fun Friday!
Look at all the fun that was had at CB this week. From Goodies with Guests to Staff twinning outfits, everyone was all smiles at the Beech!
