A Note from your BES Administration

Happy Friday, Belvedere Community!

What a week it has been! With the Book Fair, Nature Night, Thanksgiving lunch, and our early release on Wednesday, our building has been full of activity in all the best ways. We are grateful for the energy, support, and warmth our families bring to each of these moments.

A huge thank you to Ms. Zamudio for leading an incredibly successful Book Fair. She poured countless hours into making it run smoothly, supported by her wonderful volunteers. Thank you to Ms. Simpson and Ms. Ballard for organizing a special Career Day featuring 11 engaging speakers who truly inspired our students. Thank you to our cafeteria team for preparing a beautiful Thanksgiving meal for our community. And thank you to our front office staff for welcoming and guiding the many families who visited throughout the week.

We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our families for your generosity. Your donations to Share the Fair ensured that many students were able to choose books to take home and enjoy. Additionally, your food donations helped create Thanksgiving bags that will support many Belvedere families during the holiday—your kindness makes a real difference.

The cooler weather and cloudy skies have certainly made the week feel full, but Thanksgiving is right around the corner—and a much-needed break awaits us all.

We hope your weekend brings rest, connection, and all the things that make you happy.

Wishing you a cozy and restorative weekend.
