Twenty two months ago we packed up our house and moved into an RV. Our lives were about to get very different.

Book Swap Bonanza

The first ever BBES “book swap” was held during Night at the Museum on April 12. Students chose from a large selection of books to take home and keep. It was like a Scholastic book fair, but free! Thank you to our reading specialist Mrs. Guzzi for organizing this wonderful event. The Bridge of Books Foundation donated 400 chapter books, and teachers and students donated many more.

The Bradley Beach business district was bedecked with student artwork for Cinco de Mayo this year. Kearny Bank, Panchos and Juanchos, Present, and Stockroom Modern General Store all displayed BBES student artwork in the project organized by art teacher, Mrs. DiZefalo. Fourth graders made adobe puebla pastel drawings, painted Frida Kahlo portraits and created tissue paper flowers. Fifth graders drew Aztec gods and warriors.
Opinion: Chromebooks Should be Used in Moderation
By Brian Ramon-Miron
Chromebooks! These small devices we students always carry during our school hours. Currently, our school allows most students to use these devices as they wish during free time homeroom, recess and lunch. During these free periods, many students can download games or files and have fun, which isn’t a bad thing, but playing games has to be monitored and used in moderation.

Dear Raul

Dear Raul,
Sometimes I wonder what my friends think of me, and whether they think of me as a person they enjoy having around. Like, if I wasn’t there, and someone asked them their opinion of me, would they say stuff about me that I wouldn’t like? Or would it be stuff that is positive? I can’t help but feel insecure about what other people may be saying about me.
Sincerely,
Concerned
