Bester Students had the opportunity to spend an evening with their families learning all about Science! S.T.E.M. stands for: Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics. The evening started with a nice dinner and was loaded with lots of different Halloween costumes to celebrate Science night. Classrooms were filled with different science experiments and families were able to participate in three different types of experiments. It was a fun night celebrated with students and families who were excited to learn together. Look forward to another S.T.E.M. Night in the spring!

_Bester 4th Grade students had their first opportunity, of the school year, to celebrate their positive behavior. The weather was warm and both teachers and students were ready to have some fun! The playground was set up with several fun areas including: music and dancing, bubbles, chalk, hula-hooping, kick-ball, and tug-o-war. Just before going inside we played a few rounds of tug-o-war with the entire 4th grade class!

Just as the students need time to get to know one another, so do the teachers! All of the Bester Teachers traveled to Fairview Outdoor School to do some team building. It was wonderful to get to know the staff and I was especially happy to bond with my team - the 4th Grade teachers, Mrs. Gephart, and Mrs. Hatcher!!
